RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at A.S. Watson Group full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Huge global presence, if you work in a group function you get to interact with all the global business units. Retail is normally fast and ASW is no exception decisions get made rapidly and you can see your work implemented very quickly. Lots and lots of examples of people starting in junior roles and working their way to the top. Some great career opportunities.
Cons
Can be a cultural minefield but that's normal for any global organization. Due to the need to turn things around quickly some weeks will be very busy with some long hours required.
Advice to Management
Spend as much time as possible in the stores

Advice to Management
There is a lot of employer branding this year and a more HR on social media. But real situation in company doesn't change even if dress it up. Better if company look hard at the leaders / bosses and bring in people that will change to respect, allow to fail and learn. Appreciate innovative thinking.

Fellow Designers were a great team to work alongside.

Unappreciative managers. Seniors look down on other staff. Long hours. Always backlogs. Not paid enough for the work we do.
