Pros

You have a job, that's it. (which will not improve your well-being at all)

Cons

I highly recommend you to read ALL the comments BEFORE you enter this company. 1. The management of this company is horrible. First of all, projects details are unclear and no specific goal to achieve and it changes every day with non-sense. The company itself has no clear definition of which tier brand they are in (at least, they over-estimated themselves). Marketing campaigns are in the wrong direction and you are only there to listen to orders, not to voice out opinions. And when things went wrong, you are to bear the responsibility. 2. The management level will NOT TRUST you at all, especially you are ASIAN. This is very racist but you can see asians are virtually impossible to be the lead in this company. Needless to say this company will not trust you at all in making any decisions and you feel like you are just a robot or so that has no thinking. 3. Do not trust what the company promised you, especially when you sign the contact. Be careful because the HR Department is highly unprofessional. You will not get any response if they went illegal. 4. You will not get recognised if you did a nice job, cause you are not seen as employee, you are purely slave since they PAID you. (Downside of a family business cause they did not have management experience and they think money is everything) 5. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW BAD THIS COMPANY IS, BUT IF YOU WANT TO TRY AWFUL EXPERIENCES, JOIN APM MONACO. (wholeheartedly)

Absolute worst company you could imagine

Pros

Really nothing much to say, if you enjoy a work that has no meaning, then APM is the best place for you

Cons

Organization - You can't even imagine how messy the organization could be, one day the management's happy, they could just create a new team, and the other day, it could just disappear. - They can't stop people from leaving because of their messy management, so they just cut the headcount to "cut cost" for IPO (which is not happening any time soon) Culture - APM has all the problems that one family business could ever has. They are so proud of their identity of "South France brand" but the truth is, you could never hear the so call "elegance of France" because the management is so rude that you will hear rude French cursing words everyday. Not just among the family members, even to all the other employees. - If you know some French, very likely that you will get pass the interview, but if you don't know French, they won't mind talking bad things about you in French right in front of you. Products - Honestly, all the marketing is telling stories to customers that they are originated from France, but every employee knows, it's just a Chinese brand running by French family. - The product quality is so poor that the management is well aware of it, and their solution is to ask everyone just to promote the silver collections. (After all, the only problem with silver products is oxidation but for the gold ones, you have the problem of color fading on top) - APM try to position themselves as luxury brand, but the quality and materials of the product can't even compare with local counterfeits. Career path If you survive all the above and want to keep developing your career in APM, then I could only wish you good luck. Promotion and dismissal of employees only depends on the likings of the CEO and his wife (both not decent people). Their preference is clear: loyal, knows French, no need of a brain, just follow their instructions. If you still have any pursuit in your career, this company will kill all your dreams, they just do things spontaneously, even they know nothing about the market, they tend to think that they're the expert. Your opinions mean nothing if they are not what the family wants to hear.

A joke

Pros

I would say none besides the okay looking store.

Cons

This company is totally a joke from the top to the bottom. First of all, the hiring process was trash, it runs by a "recruiter wanna be" that doesn't even know how to recruit people. The company itself is fairly new here and trying to survive here as they don't even have an office for their "corporate staffs" and everyone just work in the backroom of their store. Not to mention the store operation runs by people who doesn't even know business. They treat their employees like trash and made it a very hostile work environment. The business in general is dead since there is no foot traffic walk into the store so go to a real retail company if you want to make any commission on your hard work. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work for this company unless you can't find a job elsewhere and willing to take minimum wage for nothing.
