Pros

Since i worked at the Times Square location our sales goals were high meaning more commission. The people are very friendly. You learn a lot of things, including fixing and repairing watches. Swatch Connect trains you to be more people focused. The benefits are amazing for a full time position. Just a great first time, luxury brand, job.

Cons

Long hours, micromanagement, favoritism, no space for growing.

Pros

Swatch Group once was a great place to work. The entire group was like a family. Free watches and good discounts. Friendly atmosphere.

Cons

Management is the worse. They have no idea what they are doing and promoting themselves. If you have no skills, you will be promoted. If you are part of the inner circle you will get promoted. They fire the best and keep the slackers and those who have zero opinion. The brand manager has no clue about marketing or the business of swatch. No wonder no one is moving with the brand to Miami. Beware of management, they are always up to no good and belittling employees to make themselves look good.
