Pros

There are some really great people and there are a ton of growth opportunities for the brand. The amenities at the office are fantastic, specifically the gym and cafeteria.

Cons

The culture has really changed. There used to be a really supportive atmosphere at Fossil with everyone willing to work together. With new leadership and their new initiatives, there is a constant power struggle for who is the most important dept and there is little regard for the people anymore. Moral is very low with all the layoffs and ousourcing and the few people left who do the actual work are constantly frustrated by being told to re-do things because someone "changed their mind." Role clarity is severely lacking. I have been through multiple re-orgs during my tenure and responsibilities have not been communicated for the past 2 changes. Agencies keep being hired to do work that people in the office would be more than happy to do if anyone allowed them to do their job.

Pros

An amazing brand to work with in an awesome home office facility. Very casual environment, chef on site, exercise facility, awesome discounts. Great people on board and can be a pretty fun environment given the time of year.

Cons

Current Management and Executives have substantially changed the culture in place. Lack of trust of the people they hired to do the job. No longer a small company feel but instead going very corporate and borderline backstabbing. Poor communication from upper management on go forward plans and change doesn't happen quickly, unless it comes to layoffs. Inconsistency in focus and outlook.

Pros

New office, modern technology, gym, if you're into brown nosing, you could go far. A good 2nd job.

Cons

Weirdest corporate head ever. Nepotism abound. Mid-level promoting and reviewing guidelines are unequal. CEO is a micromanager. Deplorable average salary. The corporate culture feels like college. It's the VPs (professors) and the workers (students). Mostly because the workforce is so young.
