Swarovski Global Business Employee Reviews & Ratings

Lack of support from corporate, limited work life balance, online shopping is growing less foot traffic in stores.

Many org changes, little stability in teams

Political, toxic culture People are treated unfairly No career development unless you know the right people

Disorganized manager but good retail company

6 day a week. long commute

-Strictness about clothing, constant updates about what is acceptable in the work place. You can and will be warned about something as simple as blue trousers that are not "company colours," -No competitive pay, -The incentive is team-based, which means you could meet your goals but if the rest of the team doesn't you lose out essentially. -Blackout periods.

Not reliable (continuous restructuring) No fact-based decisions, rather emotional, based on pure family fights Processes completely messy Business units not aligned, everyone is pursuing its own benefit, even if this means another business unit will suffer No end to end responsibility People are not valued: you get promoted only if you know the right people, no meritocracy The values they claim are just words, not reflected in reality

No cons as of now

boring, not much to do if shop is quiet

Understaffed so you end up doing a lot of overtime with last minute notices

No contras from my side so far

Low pay. Not enough hours.

- Sales targets were impossible to reach.

Understaffed and bad senior management

Excessive training and pressure for part time staff

There really is no moving up in the company, barely any raises throughout the year, no commission

it really depends on your store manager

- everyone need the spotlight

older employees have a superiority complex even if they're part-timers like you and way too many modules for a sales job

Shifts are not as flexible

Pay wage isn't inline with role.

Not really anything to mention for cons. Weekend work but this is to be expected from any shift working.

- Returns go against you, kinda demoralizing if you’ve sold well during your shift and then Mrs. Lady comes in with $1000 return bringing your sales down to the -negative. - Full time only available to ASM & SM - Sometimes inconsistent PT schedule - Raise was low sadly, a few pennies increase similar to lower end jobs I’ve worked for years ago

The worst commission scheme I ever see. There is a cap of commission and how much commission is really depends on how much is your basic. If they never change.

Difficult Customers Lack of Strong Management

I would like transfer opportunities

Bad salary Bad salary Small business

In my day, employees worked alone a lot. I have heard that this policy has changed and I hope it is true. It was not safe or comfortable running a store alone. As a full time associate I covered for my manager during her maternity leave, doing much of her job, without training, compensation or the benefits of her position. This was a very poor and highly stressful policy.

Constant politics, focus on cost-cutting, lack of innovation or growth mindset

They ask a lot from you, a lot of sales pressure coming from the top, conversion is a huge thing and most of the time customers are just looking but they want a lot more for the amount they pay you.

constant changes on strategic directions, too much "politics"

Bad management and team in that store only

Chaotic strategy - multiple changes in vision - mass reductions in work force

Pay is rather Low tbh

-Overworked -Unfair pay —Extremely low chance of getting a fair raise -Micromanaged -Sexist CEO -Biased and okay favorites, giving very little chance for people to grow Beautiful pieces, but the beauty isn’t worth feeling like a sheep in a fox den.

Not much cons to be honest

They were always quite understaffed

Poor upper management structure. Matey matey culture. Incompetent.

Salary is not that good

Low pay (minimum wage) Standing on feet all day

Family run, strategy very fractured

Bad management no support from team or management No follow up on concerns and complaints Never experienced the treat ment I received in a short time being in this company . Too much admin and paperwork .

too much money for me to handle

Not much career progression as a sales consultant. Very difficult to pass through time during quiet seasons.

high pressure to maintain KPIS- weekly reviews regarding this. small team therefore, expectation to be available all the time. management not considerate and back talks. Base pay and no matter how much you work, there is not many incentives. No room for growth.

Staff treatment is not the same across different branch/team

old stock held for a long time

- No commission, bonus or anything extra

Less opportunities for Career Growth

Had some internal politics and unusual boundaries between departments.
