I worked at Fossil full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Great group of people to work with, and ability to move up within company. Pay was also great
Cons
Associates have to meet Sales goals in order to obtain more hours. However, many stores do not get the traffic to meet sales goal
Advice to Management
Look past the sales goal, if they were met or not. Look at the motivation and effort of team members and schedule according.
I have been working at Fossil full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Good benefits and discount on watch sales
Cons
Low wages cuts hours if needed. No room of growth for non graduate and laborer
Advice to Management
To maintain a good work flow on any department give a space of growth for the top essential employees and give what it takes to keep them for a long term
I have been working at Fossil part-time (More than a year)

I have been working at Fossil part-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Now I can only speak to the particular branch that I have worked at but the Fossil located in Niagara Falls, within the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls, is a joy to work for. A laid back atmosphere with a desire to please customers. This starts with the exceptional environment and culture that Management has successfully built. Great part-time job!
Cons
I wish the pay was a little better.
Advice to Management
Keep up the incredible work!
I worked at Fossil full-time (More than a year)
Pros
-Easy dress code- everything is pretty casual and most of thing you can wear you probably already own: neutral colors, jeans, seasonal colors.
-Great Coworkers- My managers and other associates were all really great. It made working much less boring. I cannot speak to other stores for this quality, but the location I was employed was great in terms of this.
-You learn a lot- If you do not know much about watches, handbags or sales, you will learn. This is actually really great.
Cons
- The discount- I worked at an outlet and the discount was not much better than what the outlet customers would actually receive.
- Not many hours - My store could not give me as many hours as I would have liked since they had a lot of people working there.
- On calls- In PA on call shifts are still legal and they are really annoying since you do not know if you are working until an hour before.
- The customers- This is retail in general, but mostly because it was an outlet mall. They always want more discounts than we can give and it makes it realllyyyy annoying sometimes. I also have been harassed by customers...
-Salary vs amount of work- At my store we gave amazing customer service and i don't know if that was really reflected in the salary.
Advice to Management
The managers of my store are amazing!! I have zero negative things to say about them. What I will say however is towards corporate. They REALLY need to update their sexual harassment policy. None of my coworkers ever did anything inappropriate to me, but the males customers did. Fossil does not protect their employees well enough against this. I have felt uncomfortable many times within my store as the result of the customers making crude comments towards me. I was even stalked by one. As an employee I did not have the right to ask them to leave the store, I just had to deal with it.. This need to be updated because I doubt my case stands alone.

I worked at Fossil full-time (More than a year)
Pros
The office is a cool space, the employees skew younger and the overall vibe at Fossil HQ is very hip and energetic. The pay was good. The benefits average.
Cons
Management has no ability to make a decision. They are paralyzed to please Kosta and don't do their own thing. Plans change on a dime, and their product is in a declining market. Layoffs are common.
Advice to Management
Hire people that can run their own department without running everything through Kosta. Get a long term strategic plan and stick with it. Hire stronger leaders and weed out many of the long-timers that know how to suck up to Kosta but can't run a department well.
