Employees at Garmin appreciate the independence they have in managing their own time and work with minimal supervision. They are also given the opportunity to prove their capabilities and skills.
However, this independence also means that employees need to have good self-discipline and be able to work independently. Some employees feel that there is a lack of career development opportunities beyond initial product training. There are also indications that teamwork and support could be improved, with employees feeling they need to learn on their own and that help is not readily available. Additionally, employees need to meet monthly and annual performance targets, which can be challenging, and handling customer complaints is a part of the job that some employees find difficult.
