This works well in the company

July 1, 2023 25th anniversary of service. I passed on my dissatisfaction / asked for a serious discussion. After that I was made an offer (hourly wage or termination) and decided to resign. That means (you must not complain) otherwise I have to leave ...

This could be improved

More appreciation and keeping employees for a long time. Don't make an ultimate decision like I did. My supervisor quoted my complaints to me. The complaints were in the interest of the company! But we are there to say nothing. Otherwise you know where the doors are.

I was there for a month and the "boss" was sad because I didn't want to go on break with him. They can't constantly argue and nag their employees at home with their wives.

This could be improved

Regulars' table conversations like in a pub. I have a different idea of exemplary leadership.

The salary is probably paid on time. However, as I have never been employed, I am not in a position to judge.

This could be improved

After my application, I didn't hear anything for almost a month and inwardly wrote off the job. But then the call came as a surprise and we arranged an appointment for an interview. Two people were supposed to be present at the appointment, but only one came with the information that there would be a second interview if I made a good impression. No sooner said than done! I left the room with great feedback and was told to wait a maximum of one week for a call back. Another 2 weeks went by and I didn't hear anything, so I called them myself and they said that the second man had fallen ill and as soon as he was back, they would definitely call me back with the second appointment, they were still very interested! But I was, because we both agreed that I fit the profile perfectly. Now it got even more interesting because another 2 weeks passed and I experienced a dejavu. This time I was told that the second man was on vacation and would be back in a week. At this point I really felt like I was being taken for a ride, I know that the wheels turn more slowly in companies, but it was new to me that the statements were not kept. About a week later I received a call and was told the following; I still owe you an answer and that is that we have filled the position internally. However, you can apply for other vacancies.

The BUNT restaurant, for which you pay full price as an employee, is very good.

This could be improved

All decisions must be approved by the CEO. This leaves no room for individual decisions.

Well, what can I say about that. The wages come on time. That's almost it.

This could be improved

ISS can improve pretty much everywhere. Paying better wages, valuing employees more in all respects, finding fault with oneself and not always looking for the next best victim, who then has to take the blame for everything, communication must be greatly improved and, above all, current employees must be treated in such a way that they do not flee again after a short time.

Livit FM top, ISS ciao! Should the old culture of Livit FM come back, I'm happy to be back, otherwise ciao!

This could be improved

Bought out by ISS, formerly Livit Fm (top), now ISS (crap). A cheek to hand us janitors clothes that are meant for cleaners. Work pants= not stretchy, when you get down on your knees your a*** comes out, no suitable side pockets for tools like double meter, pen ect..., material= way too thin for outside. Still very many other concerns but not worth wasting time here yet -termination follows like almost all Livit FM employees. Good luck to carry all these mandates without employees.

Cannot be judged, as I have not worked for the company myself, but only had a job interview.

This could be improved

Disastrous application process! I called several times a few weeks after the interview to inquire about the status of things, but each time I was put off with excuses (vacation, illness, etc.). In the end, I never received any feedback or rejection.

I really appreciate the working atmosphere. Supervisors and team colleagues stick together even in stressful situations. Exciting and varied tasks, salary is paid on time.

This could be improved

More communication and direct guidelines as well as better training of new employees. Without knowledge you can't show what you've got. Equal value between men and women, still has room for improvement. All ISS employees should stick together, after all we are a big team that can achieve everything together! The management should keep people who really give everything for the company and offer them fair conditions.

This works well in the company

I worked for ISS for 14 years in the technical area and can look back on an interesting and exciting time. I never got bored. A high degree of independence was required, which gave me many opportunities and successes with customers. We always endeavoured to work out an optimal solution together with the customer and to implement it on site. With this mission statement it also takes a lot of enthusiasm and initiative, which was always welcome. I have always enjoyed working in various departments and I was able to learn a lot of exciting material. The interaction and cohesion among the teams is strong, and I found the management style of FSM and FSD good and fair. In the FM industry, all the competitors in the market also cook with water. There are positive and negative aspects in every company. On a large scale, the positive aspects clearly outweighed the negative, which is why I stayed so long.

This could be improved

I see potential for improvement by filling numerous gaps in the value chain. In communication, material procurement and warehousing I see potential to save resources and effort and to optimize processes. Due to the size of the company, there is a lack of flexibility to respond to unexpected customer requests within a short period of time. This is partly due to the structures, which require a firmly defined procedure. Personally, I found it a pity that the internal building services engineering team had lost some of its importance, as it had made a not insignificant contribution to the maintenance strategy and repair orders from major customers. For your personal career, you need patience and also several attempts to get it right. In my opinion, too much emphasis is placed on "decoration" (university degrees and diplomas) instead of drawing on solid experience from the front. I was allowed to learn several times that exactly the specialists with university degrees could not even solve an urgent, technical problem theoretically. Work-Flow: Sometimes the employees are overburdened, for example when absences due to illness occur. The personnel organisation is sometimes very tight, which only allows a certain degree of flexibility. This can lead to additional workloads for employees if someone is absent. This could be remedied by a more generous calculation of the mandate, or by taking into account that such absences are already included in the calculation (organisation of a temporary employee), or by creating a pool of personnel which can be used in the event of absences.
