Pros

The only pros is only got 2 days off

Cons

First, the manager, supervisor and all of my colleagues are not willing to give new staff a proper training. They all like with a face unpleasant and when u ask them anything. They dont willing to give you a proper response. Just throwing you a template of training, after you done, thats all! No other training provided! They wish you can just learn from the pictures from their website! As i know, many employee at this outlet has been working 2 to 3 months then already cant bear the behaviour of all of the staff then choose to resigned, not just me. The people that had been staying there already have the bad behaviour like others. Even someone dont have highschool certifictae also can have the job? I dont know how it works…The commission is sososo low and the target was freakin high! If u are trying to making more sales, your colleagues will say: dont be so hard sales, should give sales to others! And they will complain to the manager. But when you dont making sales, the manager will bear all the responsible to you. And they dont have a full sales system to avoid a sales conflict among the colleagues, very old school management. And you have 4 months trial, with NO leave, NO mc, no any benefits And you had to work for a whole day two days per week And too always give you noon shift, i get my work life mot balanced at all during that time. Everyday just working for the sales commission ( super low) and feel very pressured So… please dont come fossil

Pros

Company events are always fun. (Halloween is insane in the best way.) On-site gym, Starbucks, cafeteria with pretty good food. The employee sales and deep-discounts are really nice. Central Station is a really nice, pretty building with a parking garage.

Cons

Lots of micromanagement and unnecessary approval steps before anything can move forward; resulting in any changes moving at a glacial pace and often stalling for months and even years. Fossil manages and designs by committee and the HiPPO in the room always wins with little regard to facts and data. There's little communication at all levels of the company. Teams are extremely siloed and there's a complete lack of direction. It's also not unusual for leadership or stakeholders to flip-flop on their decisions. One meeting, they'll approve something; then turn around and claim they never saw or approved it. Then suddenly they liked the way it was, which they had been claiming never to have seen before. It's frustrating and defeating. Advancement and growth opportunities are very limited and often based on favoritism. There's almost zero recognition or metrics to demonstrate your worth. "Restructuring" and staff reductions happen regularly throughout the year and always in small batches to fly under the WARN act. They usually don't even acknowledge or comment on the layoffs internally either. It's as if they hope they did it quietly enough that no one will notice. Meanwhile, morale is practically nonexistent as everyone is always waiting for the next layoff and spends most of their time with their heads down. If they acknowledge the layoffs at all, they'll assure the company that they're "right-sized now" or that they're "done with layoffs" and then do it again.
