This works well in the company

The training sessions and courses are okay, as are the employee development programs, which are offered on a regular basis. We receive regular updates via email. The benefits aren't too bad, but they aren't great either. Unfortunately, I can't think of any other positives.

This could be improved

Unfortunately, the company has internal problems that it hasn't been able to get under control for years. Many employees are dissatisfied with the work hours, the uniforms, teamwork, and general working conditions. As soon as you make mistakes (which, depending on the situation, may be tolerated), you get ahead—but if you don’t make mistakes, nothing major changes in terms of career advancement, and your future remains at the same level. In the end, you only get into a certain routine if you’re patient and can control yourself well. The work isn’t easy, no matter what you’ve done before. You really only understand it once you’re actually doing it yourself :).

This works well in the company

Nothing motivates you to work for a longer time, only if only if you fail and have no other choice then stay here, otherwise it's a waste of time.

This could be improved

In every aspect, The salary is very very low, also the supervisors need to be re-educated because they behave like the are living in 1923 not in 2023.

This works well in the company

I found communication, leadership style and cohesion great. I was on the ramp and we were like a family.

This could be improved

The pay should be better. It's the only reason I left.
