Still a long way to go to become a preferred employer!
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- exciting task
- nice colleagues
- extraordinary events
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Control mania
- small training opportunities
- Work before people
- Top management has no leading function, rather poisons the atmosphere
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Just the appeal to value the employee and take them seriously. Of course, a functioning business is important for the preservation of the company, but this only works with motivated employees.
Employees should also be given room for maneuver and decision-making. A culture of mistakes should be practiced, because you only learn from mistakes. A strong sense of "we" and togetherness rather than a feeling of "I have to survive" should be encouraged.
It is therefore essential that the top mangend finally wakes up and greeds and shapes a positive corporate culture and sets an example.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
In sum, it is a poisoned atmosphere. It's all about business, and people, i.e. employees, take a back seat. This is primarily shaped and fueled by the top management.
Kommunikation
The communication is directive and in the finest way cooperative or collaborative.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Colleagues are all nice in themselves. But everyone seems to fight for himself alone, so that instead of joining forces, everyone struggles alone.
Work-Life-Balance
Life does not matter. It's all about the work. The company is not interested in private lives, which take a back seat and have to make way for the professional obligations. Be it through meetings that are overrun, events on late Friday afternoons, to name just a few examples.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Unfortunately, there is a pronounced "cover my ass" mentality, so the index finger is always pointed at the employee. A guilty party must be found to be "sacrificed".
In addition, there is an extreme mania for control. Every small step has to be coordinated and approved. This applies to employees at every level.
Interessante Aufgaben
A great brand with an interesting and challenging mission make the tasks themselves very interesting.
Gleichberechtigung
In itself, there is no overt inequality of any kind in the company. The topic of diversion & inclusion has been taken up, but it seems as if it has been taken up because it is on everyone's lips and is therefore a must.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There are hardly any older colleagues. The employee structure is characterized by young, rather inexperienced employees. The question remains, where have all the older employees gone?
Arbeitsbedingungen
Everything you need to work is available. The equipment is more standard than advanced. Especially since a lot is done with Excel instead of using specific software, which increases the workload and the sources of errors.
Unfortunately, however, tasks are also touched again and again, as things change, decisions are changed, etc. So the saying applies that you do things to redo them and then tackle them again.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
An issue which is conscious and addressed, but where the company and the brand are still light years away. What is currently done has rather a pseudo character, so that the customer could have the feeling to be fooled.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Total income can certainly keep up with the competition, but it is not above average either, although above-average performance is expected.
Image
The image of the company is strongly influenced by the brand. This also makes the company attractive. But there is no real corporate culture. This is strongly influenced by the brand, so all activities are geared to the brand, which is at the center of everything. The employees are on second place.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Unfortunately, there is no training program, which is very regrettable, since the company belongs to Beiersdorf and one could participate in their training measures when it comes to non-brand-specific topics such as leadership, negotiating techniques, presentation techniques, etc.
When it comes to careers, there is no career planning whatsoever. Everything takes place rather ad hoc and somewhat involuntarily.
