Timex reviews about "hour"

long hours and extended hours

Lack of proper remote onboarding, long hours, under staff, using dated programs for best practices.

No flex hours, walk from building to parking lot is about a half mile

1. Many SVPs are incapable of performing at the mid management level. No clue how to create a business plan, seek feedback or define realistic goals 2. Liars in the leadership team - when you do not hire for an open position it is not categorized as a cost savings; telling people they will occasionally need to work long days then scheduling calls at 6 AM and 10 PM routinely is disgusting. Only HR and IT avoid 18 hour days routinely, IT because they have good leadership, HR well - who needs them? 3. It is better to be liked than right. God help you if you identify true issues and present solutions that your 'leader' cannot understand (hello Ops) 4. Behavior - I've witnessed senior leaders berate their employees and worse talk about their employees to peers "this is unacceptable, if I were them I would be afraid" what 'leader' talks like that? Set expectations, provide support and be professional 5. Benefits are expensive 6. You have Six Sigma designations? GREAT!! Will you ever use them? Nope

Long hours on the past job.

For some roles, the pay is not equal to the tasks assigned. If you are looking for a promotion or any type of recognition you have to be marked as one of the "favorites." Upper management has NO IDEA the amount of time, energy, and expertise it takes to keep parts of the business operational and successful. Departments constantly fight with each other and play the "blame game." Directors and VP's included. Tons of deflection. Nobody wants to take responsibility. You can blatantly voice your concerns to your superior about the behavior of your coworkers being toxic and unethical and provide examples and say multiple times "I feel uncomfortable" and NOTHING will come from it because that coworker is your superior's "favorite." If management does try to address these issues they will do so in the form of pizza parties or happy hours. It's never communication and accountability. The brand is stuck in the dark ages. Failing to conduct any market research or consumer insights about products and simply designing watches based on "good feelings" or personal preference from a select group of people. Upper management then expects all products to be a raging success and sell out each and every time and is absolutely furious when it does not happen and looks to the teams to figure out why the products are not selling when it's blatantly obvious it's from little consumer research, poor branding, and a packed product launch schedule.

Management bottleneck work so one person on the team is buried but they have difficulty delegating to other team members. No happy hour or social opportunities for team building or really developing relationships. Only management get bonuses

Honestly there are so many cons to working at this company. All of upper management has been there much too long for anything to happen, they preach about innovating and change but they are the roadblocks stopping it at every turn. They think they know best but these are the same people that have been keeping it stagnant for years. The pay is terrible. They justify this by saying they’re out of middlebury and not Hartford or Fairfield county so they don’t need to pay those types of salaries. Newsflash, your employees live in these areas and you didn’t even provide a cost of living wage increase for at least 3 years. Also, only senior managers and above are eligible for bonuses. HR is also a complete joke at this organization. There is maybe only one of them that truly cares about what you have to say and wants to hear you out but nothing ever gets done because her boss is too busy gossiping or trying to be fake bffs with everyone. It is by far the most unprofessional work environment I have ever been in. They allow inappropriate actions continue to happen because they don’t have the balls to take action. There is absolutely no feeling of support coming from this company, you pretty much feel ok your own. The benefits are also not good. Insurance is extremely poor unless you opt for the highest plan and then its about average. Summer fridays are nice but some managers will still schedule meetings during those hours or make it seem like you need to ask permission to use them when its a company wide initiative. Its almost like RAs in college where they think serving stale popcorn and throwing on a crappy movie from the 80s will make up for your poor salary, lack of room for growth, and inability to provide adequate resources for you to perform your job (they did actually do this activity). It is truly an overall toxic environment at this company. People are promoted when all they do is online shop, talk about not doing their work, and have no idea what is going on with the business all because they’re bffs with someone in the higher ups. You are not rewarded for your work at Timex, others are and in turn you just receive more of the workload they decide they don’t want to do. This company takes advantage of every (actual) capable employee but only rewards the ones that bring nothing to the table.

None I can think of here
