This works well in the company

There are positives and negatives in every company. I think you have to be satisfied. I personally think Victorinox is the best company. I had the opportunity to leave the company, but I decided to stay and I have never regretted it. I have been part of Victorinox for 13 years and I am damn proud of it. Even more, I am looking forward to the next 26 years. Personally, I was able to get to know several departments, which helped me a lot in my further training, where I received a lot of support from Victorinox and from many internal superiors. In conclusion: there is no such thing as a perfect company. There is room for improvement everywhere, but the way the Elsener family runs the company is world class.

This could be improved

As an employee, I certainly don't want to suggest any improvements here. I do things like that with my supervisor during my work.

This works well in the company

Great enterprise and management. Working conditions are great, and the climate suits me very well.

This could be improved

The pay could be better. But I find that this is offset by benefits such as the generous KiZu. With the internal promotion opportunities, you have to be a little lucky that a suitable position is currently open.

This works well in the company

The brand is top. The products too. The clientele varied and very interesting. It is a good feeling to be able to offer such a prestige CH product. You can definitely stand by the prices and the quality.

This could be improved

The pay is ridiculous. An unskilled cleaner gets paid more. It works almost everybody against everybody. There can be no question of teamwork. Envy and resentment between the long-standing employees and the new ones - especially when you're a little better. Wrong employees who are nice to the outside and then fall in your back. Impossible and above all unnecessary. Storemanagerin should be replaced, because not competent enough. She decides according to sympathy and not according to ability.

Dear colleague Thank you very much for taking the time to give a differentiated feedback. Of course, I am pleased with the aspects that you perceive as positive. At the same time, I regret that you have different expectations regarding your compensation and teamwork. I can assure you that we have several initiatives underway to develop both employees and managers. Kind regards, Robert
