Run the other way - Operations SwissWatchExpo Employee Review

This review is so old that I hesitated to respond to it. However, I do want to point out that many of the items that this person complained about that have changed, including: - We still offer free lunch everyday, but people have a choice and if they want to go out instead to run errands, etc. they are free to do so. - All workers are now hourly, we converted to this over a year ago. - Our work hours are indeed from 9am - 6:30 with a one hour lunch break and, as mentioned above, if you want to leave during your lunch break you are free to do so. - No one is paid in cash. I'm not sure where that even comes from, but we have an HR tool (Paylocity) where hours are tracked and that we use to issue payments on a weekly basis. (Yes, we pay people weekly.) Also, this means that we have both records of time keeping and online paystubs. - There is no one who falls asleep on the job for hours. We are high energy, hard working team. - Everyone is given PTO and encouraged to use it. The only time it is discouraged is during the end of year retail blitz (mid-Nov through Christmas), which is very normal for a retailer. This is our Super Bowl and we really need everyone on-hand to help us meet all of our customer demands at this time. - I don't know about a "lead operations officer" who doesn't do anything. We recently promoted one of the members of our operations team to be our Operations Manager and he is exceptionally hard working. - Our regular work week is 42.5 hours. That means everyone works 2.5 hours of overtime each week (and they are paid overtime wages for this). There are a few people that will work more hours, but if they do so, they are paid overtime hours for this. - Our health insurance is actually very good. Insurance in general is tough these days (you really need to advocate for yourself to get the care you need, especially when it comes to prescriptions) but I know many people on the team with very high health requirements that are well served under our plan. And note that the company heavily subsidizes the insurance so that it is only ~$16.50 each week for the employee to get Medical, Dental and Vision coverage.
