Pros

All of the pros about working at Fossil were the people. The staff was incredible.

Cons

- New CEO removed employee incentives called 'Fossil bucks' and runs so few employee promotions (like contests) that any push to go above and beyond while working is gone. - Brand is trying (and failing) to redefine itself as an exclusive hand-end brand. The reason epople loved Fossil was because it was quirky, reasonably affordable, and timeless.

Pros

The people that work at the Fossil Corporate office are fantastic. They are some of the most warm and creative people that I've ever worked with.

Cons

Senior leadership has vastly diminished the emphasis on "culture", which is what made the company great. Recently, they outsourced their entire IT department (approximately 125 total employees) to India, while outsourcing numerous other departments to 3rd parties. The problem with this, among other things, is that a company bragging about how much it supports its "people" out of one side of their mouths, while outsourcing entire business segments out of the other side results in poor morale, and a general distrust of management.

Pros

Happy, relaxed and informal culture. Good compensation and time off policies. Office building offer great cafe with healthy options, gym, employee store with amazing discounts, starbucks, running trail, etc.

Cons

Going through a slow-down of recent exponential growth in business.. leading to sudden cost reduction initiatives, which is leading to constant stress, increased workload and somewhat vagueness in goals. Management seems divided in what needs to be achieved, hence lack of general direction.
