Stay away from this company as far as possible!
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Absolutely nothing
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Just read my previous comments, I could write a book about these guys it is actually sad.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
When hiring new employees, maybe you should start with the basics, which you failed to show. These are namely: proper on-boarding (was introduced to everything in a matter of few hours), have weekly meetings that are constructive, and show some sort of compassion so employees feel comfortable. With that said, do not hire and then fire the person in the same week because they are not learning as fast as you thought they would (also how can someone learn everything in a week). Teach your employees the basics about the company, the logistics, etc, and be their mentor!
Arbeitsatmosphäre
There is constant pressure and tension within the team, which does not aid the overall work setting. The industry itself is demanding and full of urgent requests, so I do not want to refute that fact. However, the relationship with the manager was essentially non-existent (with the team it was a bit better) and the way tasks were communicated and handled was awful. There is a clear hierarchy and little room for improvement. Needless to say, an awful and traumatic place to work.
Kommunikation
Building on my previous point, there is practically little to no communication (not sure how it was in different departments but mine was awful). Whenever I had inquiries, they were answered either at the end of the working day (which resulted in over-time, which is not compensated) or there was no answer at all. Because of this, it was always the employee who was at fault which should not be the case. Managers/superiors almost never show up to meetings and they do not inform their employees about this. When we do have meetings, the overall vibe is awkward and no one knows anything. Bad management, under-qualified superiors, and clear exploitation of employees for personal gain is all I can say.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Colleagues were very sweet and helpful, a lot more helpful than the managers. Whenever I had questions regarding the tasks, the company, or simply wanted to chat, they were available. Now, one might think: why the two stars? The reason for this is because the company simply does not deserve more than that - you are pressuring your employees to work hard and fast as possible for a compensation that is miserable, especially taking into consideration that this company operates in one of the most wealthiest countries in the world. Because the manager is so narcissistic, entitled, and incompassionate this caused colleagues to not talk with each other as you always had the feeling you might get fired for not working 24/7. Bambinifashion, your employees deserve more, you should be ashamed of yourself!
Work-Life-Balance
Non-existent!! If you are looking to tick all possible psychological conditions from WebMD and be scarred for life, then this job is for you. You are not respected here, you are seen as a cheap asset who needs to get numerous tasks done in a short amount of time. Not to mention, you will also get WhatsApp messages during the evening/late at night, the weekends, as well as early mornings which will additionally present the fact that you need to be working whenever needed. Do not be shocked to receive requests from the manager to start work at very early in the morning or late at night for "last minute requests". Remember, you are NOT compensated for working over-time so you have to draw the line (but you might get fired for doing so). Needless to say, people here do not have the flexibility that a freelancer should have, so STAY AWAY from this company.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I already answered this in the previous comments. The superiors are awful, egoistic, incompassionate, and horrible people to even talk to. Under-qualified as well but at the end of the day, this is a family-owned company so there is nothing you can do. Do yourself a favor and hire qualified individuals with management experience - people are getting fired and hired at astronomical speed (usually without notice) so I am still surprised this company has not been scrutinized.
Interessante Aufgaben
Tasks were quite diverse so I did learn something useful.
Gleichberechtigung
The company is diverse, but only for the reason to up their image. They clearly exploit individuals from middle to low-income countries as an average individual working and living in Austria would be appalled with the working conditions.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Disgusting, miserable, just a few words to describe this particular category. Not sure how it is in the office as I worked remotely but based on the other comments here it is clearly not better.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
For a company that praises itself as the "leading children´s online retail company", the compensation and benefits are a JOKE. Working in a service-based job that are usually belittled, you will be compensated more fairly and usually have fun colleagues and social gatherings. Once again, stay away from this place!
Image
Image online seems good, but once you´re in, you´re done for. Just have a look at the other comments and you will understand. If you have over 8-9 people saying that this company is a complete devastation, ask yourself if you want to work here.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
It is a family-owned business so forget being promoted or praised for your work. You will be chastised and condescended for every single thing that you do. Stop trying to sell the story that you are the "worlds leading children's online clothing store" and that we should be grateful to work here. All of us ex-workers are very much aware of your malicious intentions and it´s disgusting.
