Balancing low pay, flexible hours, long projects, equipment and complex bonuses...
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Challenging, to say the least. When things go well, lots of smiles and positivity in the room. A few "complaints" here and there about the salaries, but life goes on. When the prospect of not meeting targets looms, a certain level of tension becomes palpable, and one can detect the manager's inclinations towards excessive control. The lack of a -serious- reward system makes successes feel "meh" and failures unbearable
Image
Somehow everybody has a great image of this company, I guess it is its people and the lake that keep the flag up
Work-Life-Balance
In order to earn more as a trainer, you have to work more. In other departments it is the nature of the job that includes weekends and/or early mornings, late nights, that -even if one would have free time to do something- they must be fed up and rather not do anything.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
"If you don't like it, leave" - mentality, fleeting onboardings and information overload, complex processes. No Swiss-Wide seminars or similar. Older employees super helpful
Gehalt/Benefits
below industry average in some departments
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Regular initiatives related to social campaigns and more
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The fear of resigning and having to find another job is a great motivator, as it seems. There is not much interdepartmental communication, but this seemed to be working ok. Backstabbing or shit-talking each other happens aswell, but most of the times does not affect the results of the team(s).
Vorgesetztenverhalten
You see peoples' true face when failure approaches. C-Level is -the least to say- disconnected from the "front line", unless it is closer to the company's HQ. In-Club Management is helpful, friendly and understanding
Arbeitsbedingungen
Trainer Desk Area a bit messy, but has the infrastructure with everything a trainer would need. There is no consultation room, which makes sales a bit awkward in the corridor
Kommunikation
In person communication is perfect, written communication is just unbearable. Tons of useless emails, quadruple-checking issues, spamming in team groups, even the ones including employees that have nothing to do with that particular issue.
Interessante Aufgaben
Most departments have a fair share in the club's success and do interesting things. Trainer department is getting paid 23chf/hr. for -mostly- non-trainer duties.
