Pros

High salary and commissions compare to other luxury brands Lots of budget for marketing and client experience Very popular brand so it’s easy to sell

Cons

Very corrupted management. Top directors held total control and sell good stocks to grey market and earn themselves extra bucks in their wallet. They got rid and fired anyone who’s in their way or threatened to do so. Honest people would struggle to survive unless you become part of the corrupted group. When voiced out, you’ll end up knowing that everyone is involved in the black market. No system of anything set in place, no benefits, nothing is written. Nothing is prepared for you even on your first day. Contracts were ready months after joined. HR and managers never clearly understand employees benefits. No clear communication, standards or guidelines within the organisation. No standard of luxury in many aspects comparing to other luxury brands. No career path, training or development. Struggling to keep good employees and to search for good employees to join. People inside have been there a long time and couldn’t keep up with the development of the industry around and they’re against of anything new and insisted on being where they were. They don’t take responsibility or try to solve problems and only blame when problems arise. Extremely disorganised in terms of finance, no rules or compliance (even there is, top managers never follow for their own benefits). My first pay was few days delayed as the finance department forgot to pay until the whole team had to voice out. No health benefits for over three months. Advanced payments had to be made on many occasions and then claimed but not all things could be claimed but nobody ever provide guidelines on it.

Pros

This company has so many fantastic qualities and perks to make anyone want to become apart of the Audemar Piguet Family. They have an extensive and highly educational training program. They make sure they don't send you out in front of clients until you are truly informed of both the product, the company and the companies mission. Even though this is a world wide company you still feel such a family bond throughout the entire organization that helps you grow and move up within the company. They have extraordinary and highly competitive benefits and wages.

Cons

unfortunately for me I was offered a position the was 1st of its kind. I left a very prestige's luxury watch company to take this position. only to find out 21 days later that I was not what they envisioned. They needed a watchmaker with a client service background. Not a Senior Client Service Representative with some watchmaking training. So needless to say I was let go. Either way I was still very grateful for the opportunity and flattered that they thought of me when they were creating the position.

Nasty culture, miserable compensation

Pros

Strong brand, loved by thousands. Based in Singapore. Amazing colleagues across all departments, except for the management.

Cons

Nasty nasty culture, ruled by fear. Employees are being threatened almost everyday, nobody knows when will be their turn to have their head on the chopping board. Can confirm the upper management is running around like headless chickens, nobody knows what their doing most of the time, except slave driving their subordinates. Even though the company is earning profits month on month, but compensation is not even matching the amount of work to be done. For a company with such high profit margin, increment is lesser than inflation rate. Mistakes are often not tolerated, and working here you better be 100% perfect and put in your 150% effort in order to survive. And that's the bare minimum. Oh and they don't like to promote from within because, why right? When you can just slave drive the person until they finally give up.
