Genossenschaft ZFV-Unternehmungen

The company has a high level of operational professionalism. Controlling, reporting, budget management, and process structures are fundamentally well established. However, there were occasional delays and errors in the finance department, which made operational management more difficult. The CEO sets a clear, sometimes polarizing direction. This clarity is important and demonstrates strong leadership. The new brand identity was a bold and necessary step that is strategically sound and strengthens the company's market positioning. The structured organization is a clear advantage for larger catering contracts. The management culture is value-based and respectful. Work is structured, and cooperation between operations and central services generally functions well. As in any organization, there are different perceptions. In some cases, the impression is created that appearance is weighted more heavily than measurable goal achievement. Financial stability and the long-term orientation as a cooperative create planning security for employees and clients. However, individual business areas are performing below average and are weighing on overall performance.

As a cooperative, the company has a stable and structured setup. At the same time, well-defined processes and hierarchies sometimes lead to longer decision-making processes. In a dynamic market environment, more speed and entrepreneurial freedom would be useful in certain areas. In multi-unit structures, performance-oriented managers should be given greater responsibility for actual results. Pure OKR target systems fall short, especially when contribution margins exceed targets without this being adequately rewarded. Clear profit-sharing models would promote entrepreneurial thinking. Standardization is underway and strategically correct. It is necessary to improve calculations, processes, and margins in the long term. A uniform minimum sales price would be absolutely necessary in certain segments. In the education sector in particular, there are companies with structurally weak performance that are a burden on the entire enterprise. More consistent operational control would be necessary here. The need for change is sometimes approached with caution internally because the perception of possible negative reactions (both internal and external) is given great weight. In my view, it is worth being more courageous in implementing change: if measures are properly prepared, well communicated, and timed appropriately, the situation usually normalizes quickly and the focus returns to the operational impact.

Wage payments are always on time, pleasant communication the zfv family

During the pandemic, the ZFV dismisses the most long-standing employees without seeking a solution. But new employees are still working. Maybe you can change that!

The interview itself was one of the best I've had in my career. Open and honest communication from the first greeting to the farewell. Individual questions about the job were answered very well and one had a very good feeling during the interview. The corporate values are lived and communicated accordingly.

During appointment determination for the interview. I have after the positive writing on my answer and the request for a call back for the appointment about half a dozen times in vain tried to reach the appropriate HR job. The appointment was then made via e-mail without any problems. This can of course happen, but you should leave both options open during the application process to find an appointment.

The ZFV is committed to its employees and leaves room for its own ideas. We also offer a secure workplace and a wide range of internal and external training and development opportunities for our employees, regardless of their function level. From a career changer to a professional gastronome, you can find everything here. With over 88 nationalities, we are a cosmopolitan company that values every team member as an asset.

From a personal point of view, we can constantly develop further - we are good but we can always get better.

Fixed working hours to be adhered to and work clothing to be provided.

Employees with completed training and a permanent position could earn correspondingly more.

Already after a few hours after I sent my review, I was contacted. The job and the company were presented to me in detail during a pleasant and constructive telephone conversation. Afterwards I was invited to the head office, where I got to know the team and where the processes in the company were explained to me on the basis of concrete examples. All in all a good experience even if it didn't work out in the end.

I have nothing to criticize in the application process. The team took a lot of time to give me a good impression of the company.

It was a great time and I was able to seize many opportunities and develop myself both professionally and personally. In my opinion, EVERYONE at ZFV who puts their heart into my work gets a great chance. I'd come back anytime - that says it all. I cannot understand the negative comments here: with such "unqualified" statements one disqualifies oneself...

More advertising for the company. Otherwise no input.
