Good base salary but poor incentives and management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Base salary was good at the start, Boutique atmosphere was lovely

Cons

Commission and incentives were horrible. No bonus although the country preformed well and we know other countries got them. No salary increase for 2 years for all boutique staff with no explanation. Lars the MD of Oceania is extremely aggressive towards staff. No career progression

Great brand, challenging management culture

Store manager

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Strong brand recognition and loyal client base. Great exposure to luxury retail, watches, and high-volume sales. Opportunity to build strong client relationships and develop product knowledge.

Cons

Leadership and communication became increasingly inconsistent in recent years. Heavy micromanagement and a lack of trust in experienced staff created unnecessary pressure on morale and store culture, contributing to high staff turnover. Work-life balance, recognition for performance, and career development opportunities could be improved. Management since 2025 has appeared to lack a clear long-term vision, trust in frontline teams, and accountability for key decisions. This has left many employees feeling disengaged and undervalued. A culture of excessive oversight and limited autonomy has often undermined productivity, collaboration, and ultimately the business’s revenue potential.
