This works well in the company

The work-life balance is generally good and the workload is kept within limits. The pay is fair, and the HR team is open, helpful and makes an effort wherever possible, but also has its limits due to the structures in the company.

This could be improved

Agreements are often not kept and decisions are made without a clear line or are later reversed. Communication throughout the company is inadequate and often uncoordinated. Employees are neither deployed according to their personal strengths nor encouraged to develop their weaknesses, but simply criticized. The working atmosphere suffers from the fact that there is hardly any team spirit and many work against each other rather than with each other.

This works well in the company

Learners gain an insight into most departments and the opportunity to do exciting work. The working atmosphere is very good and you are well received in every department.

This could be improved

More courses could be offered to learners, but (as far as I know) this has changed a little.

This works well in the company

The atmosphere in the company is correspondingly personal and respectful towards the employees of the family business in its 6th generation. There are good opportunities to get involved and contribute to the success of the company.

This could be improved

Even clearer formulation of corporate goals and strategic initiatives for all levels.
