Pros

You can build the thick skin with all the drama and sick environment that surrounds you.

Cons

Key words to define Swarovski: Huge politics, Nepotism, No development plan, Zero transparency, Low number of talented people, Sick environment, High turnover, etc. No performance driven leadership (from top to bottom) with zero intention to improve the status quo rather focused to survive as long as possible in the company. No talent competition, the leadership/line managers ask employees to focus more on doing network inside the company than actually doing their job. Therefore if you are great at politics, you are great at networking and you are great at blah blah blah then Swarovski is the place where you will have a career. It doesn't matter if you are able to do the job or you want the company to excel. Yourself comes first! Such a sick environment. They take foreigners from outside paying them peanuts compared to the market and then HR complains why there is a high turnover of 6-12 months. The company also goes through a restructuring every at least 2 years and leadership doesn't care about retaining the best people rather the one who are friends of friends. On top of the cake, there is HR who besides of being useless, they play the politics against the employees. p.s: Please HR avoid to respond to this feedback with your non sense message because you will never send this feedback to the senior leadership and you will never care about former or current employees on what they think or what needs urgently to be fixed.

Pros

great introduction into luxury retail, great sales training, coworkers are very friendly, management really cares about you and is very nice but can get rude when stressed. generally a nice place to work, clean, very easy job overall, you make team bonuses which raise hourly to as much as 22 and hour

Cons

micromanaging from corporate, disorganized management, moderate turnover, things get stressful but also fun during busy seasons
