Verbesserungsvorschläge
The company recently conducted an employee survey called “One Voice.” However, many employees questioned how anonymous feedback was handled and whether critical opinions could be expressed openly without concerns about identification. As a result, confidence in the survey process appeared limited.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Staff turnover is extremely high. In one team of around 20 people, 19 eventually left. At the same time, the company continuously recruits new security agents, creating the impression of a hire-and-replace approach rather than investing in employee retention and development.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
In summary, low pay, high staff turnover, and a perceived lack of employee appreciation make this a workplace that I would not recommend.
Gehalt/Benefits
The main issue is compensation. In my experience, employees are underpaid considering the level of responsibility required for the job. What is particularly disappointing is that hourly wages appear to have decreased over the years. For example, employees in similar positions reportedly earned more five years ago than new hires do today. It seems the company has adjusted its compensation strategy to take advantage of the attractiveness of the Swiss labor market and the large number of available applicants.
Arbeitsbedingungen
concern is the imbalance between pay and responsibility. Security agents are entrusted with important tasks, including document checks, where mistakes can have serious consequences. The level of responsibility is significant, yet the compensation does not reflect it.
Kommunikation
The high turnover is also noticeable in everyday interactions. Supervisors sometimes address employees with generic terms such as “my dear” instead of using their names, which can make staff feel interchangeable rather than valued members of the organization.
