Pros
There are a lot of shiny things that they use to lure you (employee discounts, a gym, decent looking office, etc.)
Cons
Fossil is a great company to work for if you're looking for something that will inhibit your growth and dull your expertise. The entire work environment at HQ is suffocated by superficial arrogance, where employees are hired or given opportunities based on their personality or appearances and not by talent or performance. Sales are down and the business as a whole is suffering, likely due to the internal inefficiencies that cause multiple issues and pain points across the organization. Everyone is in denial of this, and all anyone cares about is individual success instead of meeting the needs of the business or acting with a purpose. You'll constantly have to take the fall for bad decisions and unclear direction that is given by upper management. No one is held accountable or takes any responsibility for the actions they make. Be prepared to carry the weight of others, while everyone else takes 'work' trips and spends unnecessary company dollars. Fossil is also a great place if you're looking to live in the dark ages. They use antiquated technology and old business practices that inhibit success and growth within the organization. Business decisions are typically made based on emotion or how someone is feeling but hardly ever made based on data and knowledge. The majority (if not all) of the company's resources and work hours are allocated towards making sure everything looks pretty. The amount of time employees spend on aesthetics is both astonishing and just outright comical. Promotions are swept under the rug, people don't communicate with each other, and everyone constantly changes their mind based on a whim or just personal preference. No one has decorum or really seems to care much about anything.
