Pros

During my time with Montblanc circa early 2000s, it was a great place to work. Benefits were decent and had pension. They used to have these "goodie bag" deals where you would pay $10-15 and you would get thousands of dollars in merchandise. Once I even got a limited edition. Employee discounts were generous and incentives were great.

Cons

Over time, budgets became unrealistic, commission structured kept changing and hours got worst. There was no real work-life balance, weekends were a most to work, inventory was a chore, and hours were long. Raises were a joke but I was young at the time, what little did I know?

Pros

Some very good benefits, multicultural environment, parking space, flexible working hours and a very good working team. I really feel engaged in coming to work every day to face the challenges.

Cons

Located in industrial zone of Hamburg with not a single walking distance restaurant option , and the company restaurant have a fair price but menu is not so diverse and international as it could be. Company could provide better infrastructure in HQ area to support the sport practice, for example as proper changing rooms with lockers, and more showers cabins so when you want to run during the lunch time, before or after working, it is easier to change clothes and take a shower.

Pros

There are no pros within this organization

Cons

Do not work in Montblanc unless you want to be miserable. High employee turnover, toxic environment, no team spirit, long hours, they will not keep most of the conditions you signed for in the contract, HR does not have your back, there is no growth within the company unless you are french, your ideas do not matter, you will NOT build a career and your days off are not days off.
