VBS Verband-Services AG

VBS is a great and fair employer. The team is great and the management is certainly not old-fashioned. Suggestions for improvement are accepted and ideas can be brought in and implemented. In addition to a fair salary, there are perks for the in-house restaurant and free use of the in-house fitness center. The working environment is state-of-the-art and the management style of my supervisor cannot be faulted.

Normally, I hold back on applications, but when I came across the bad reviews from allegedly dissatisfied former employees, I feel compelled to respond.

Interesting and varied work. New tasks are always being added. Good salary.

There is always talk of appreciation for employees, but this is completely absent in everyday life. Employees hardly have anything to say. Anyone who expresses criticism is ignored or dismissed. The company presents itself as a modern employer, but has old-fashioned structures that will not change in the future due to the composition of the management. The company does not assume any social responsibility toward its employees. There have been a great many layoffs since the beginning of the pandemic. Many long-term extremely qualified employees were dismissed, others left voluntarily due to the poor corporate culture. Inexperienced employees have been brought in, even in management positions, who do not have the necessary expertise. Anyone who wants to work for an innovative company is certainly at the wrong address at the Haus der Wirtschaft.

The management style should be urgently reconsidered. Appreciation and respectful treatment of employees should be improved. The possibility of home office (also in the current difficult times) should be made possible, overtime compensation should be kept the same in all departments and, above all, made possible. The number of employees joining and leaving the company in 2020 was above average, and in some cases entire departments were changed.

Top management should become aware of the importance of appreciation, trust and respectful treatment of employees. Management is old-fashioned, very patriarchal and characterized by the exercise of power, often lacking the necessary expertise, employees are often "kept down". No internal promotion opportunities are available, part-time work is rarely approved. The conditions of employment should be kept up to date in terms of working hours, more freedom to compensate for overtime, holiday entitlement and home office work (also during Corona). Regular internal communication is completely lacking in all matters - usually only information is provided about who is joining the company, and there is silence about departures or who has to leave the company.
