Unfortunately, the company feels like a lost cause in its current state.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Team work felt rewarding and always positive.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Toxic work culture heavily focused on micromanagement
Verbesserungsvorschläge
It would be beneficial for the company to consider new ownership or leadership—someone more competent and sensible—who can guide it toward a healthier, more productive work environment.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The overall working atmosphere is tense and driven by fear. While collaboration and relationships among colleagues are generally positive and supportive, there is a constant sense of anxiety due to the management's oversight. This creates a work environment where people are hesitant to speak up or take initiative, despite the otherwise collegial team dynamic.
Image
There is not a single aspect of the company that instills a sense of pride; in fact, it often feels quite the opposite.
Work-Life-Balance
There is no respect for work-life balance. Employees are expected to stay overtime at the office and are discouraged from working remotely. Taking sick leave is often perceived as a lack of commitment or even disobedience, creating a culture where personal well-being is undervalued.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
There is no career growth in this company, you are expected to follow orders and be obedient. You are discouraged from providing any feedback and expected to deliver systematic results like in a factory chain. Creative ideas are or any kind of input that would improve the product are not welcomed.
Gehalt/Benefits
Salaries are generally below average, and social benefits are virtually nonexistent. The only perks offered are team events, which are organized exclusively by upper management without employee input.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Although the company claims to prioritize sustainability, its actions contradict this commitment. Energy-inefficient services are regularly used, undermining environmental goals. The only notable gesture toward social responsibility was a monthly donation to a charity chosen by employees.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The only truly positive aspect of working at this company was the team spirit among colleagues. Despite the pressure from management to stay submissive and avoid dissent, team members consistently offered support, shared knowledge, and provided constructive feedback to help each other navigate the challenges.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
The company appears to favor hiring very young professionals, likely due to their perceived ease of control and compliance. As a result, older or more experienced employees who remain often feel undervalued, overlooked, and increasingly frustrated within the organization.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Leadership lacks direction, with no clear goals or long-term objectives. Decisions often follow fleeting trends or unrealistic targets, rather than sound strategic planning. Employees are completely excluded from the decision-making process, and any form of critical thinking is discouraged—often labeled as insubordination. There is an unspoken expectation to accept all decisions made by upper management without question or critique. Management will set up unrealistic expectations over your performance and impossible goals to achieve, and if those goals are reached, then no rewards are given.
Arbeitsbedingungen
The working conditions are poor overall. The office space is small and cramped, with outdated equipment that hampers productivity. Sanitation is severely lacking: desks are rarely cleaned properly, toilets are sometimes clogged or non-functional, and only old towels are provided for drying hands. The kitchen area is unhygienic, often stocked with expired food, while trashcans overflow for days, attracting flies and maggots. The fridge contains rotting food and expired drinks. Additionally, the open corridor layout creates a noisy environment that makes concentrating difficult.
Kommunikation
Communication is strictly one-way. Management often expects employees to grasp complex ideas without any prior explanation and to follow unclear or illogical directives without question. Asking for clarification is frequently interpreted as a sign of incompetence or even insubordination, which discourages open dialogue and critical thinking.
Gleichberechtigung
Equality within the company appears to be average at best. There is no strong commitment to fostering an inclusive or fair workplace, and efforts toward equity seem minimal or superficial.
Interessante Aufgaben
Employees are expected to follow management without hesitation or input. The focus is not on doing your job independently, but on executing orders exactly as given. All decisions revolve around the CEO, creating a culture of dependency. Even when following his instructions, the lack of clear feedback often leads to confusion and stress. Misinterpreting his vague expectations frequently results in dissatisfaction or criticism, further contributing to an atmosphere of insecurity.
