This works well in the company

You can put your taker qualities to the ultimate test.

This could be improved

The structures and practices of the company are very outdated. This missed the connection to the digital age. However, no further training is supported either. Employees must prepare for the future privately and at their own expense.

As an independent family business, we value personal and direct discourse and are happy to address critical issues. We are happy to offer you the opportunity to discuss your personal situation or the situation in your department with a neutral representative of the personnel department. We are at your disposal at any time. We appreciate the personal and direct discourse which can be critical, because we know that we are not perfect and that not everything always succeeds, even if it is well organized. Our successful growth in recent years has presented our employees and our company with new opportunities and challenges. Management in particular is more challenged than ever. In doing so, we attach great importance to adhering to the jointly defined corporate values that bind us all as the basic attitude of the company and each individual employee. We provide employees with targeted support in the form of in-service training. Of course, we are dependent on the mutual initiative of all those involved in order to accelerate further development. As a company, we always make our decisions in close consultation with our employees and superiors in order to ensure optimum individual support and at the same time not to disregard entrepreneurial goals. We support this through training agreements.

This works well in the company

A few years ago it looked as if things were turning for the better. But it's been getting worse since 2016. However, there are still few departments with halfway good cohesion. The old-timers are still loyal.

This could be improved

The company attracts top workers with false promises, and then does not offer the promised. So they go quickly again and a new manpower is recruited. This means that valuable knowledge is regularly lost. Meanwhile, the sales businesses and suppliers are irritated by the constant changes at the headquarters. The mood's boiling.

As an independent family business, we value personal and direct discourse and are happy to address critical issues. We are happy to offer you the opportunity to discuss your personal situation or the situation in your department with a neutral representative of the personnel department. We are at your disposal at any time. Our employees are very valuable and important for our company. They represent Bucherer every day and in every area of our business, every day with passion, inspiration and hospitality, they ensure that our customers are offered an incomparable experience at Bucherer. We greatly appreciate the personal and open exchange, which enables us to respond better to individual needs. For us, it is important that the requirements on management and employees are considered individually as a result of the successful development of Bucherer AG, so that we provide optimum support and keep critical points on the radar at all times. In order to jointly master the opportunities and challenges of the continuous further development of our company, openness, the ability to reflect and courage are required. A philosophy that we have always anchored in our corporate values.

This works well in the company

Canteen and parking spaces (Attention: not for everyone!) are worth mentioning benefits.

This could be improved

The human resources department should warn disruptive employees who are not in control and then dismiss them. In shopping there are conditions which I cannot mention in detail, but everyone else suffers from them.

Dear former employees, dear former employee Many thanks for the detailed evaluation in the jobs.ch portal. They expressed themselves very critically on topics such as superior behaviour and colleague cohesion. We take note of this and regret that you have perceived these points negatively. We would like to talk to you directly about your feedback. Please contact us via "hr.switzerland@bucherer.com". Friendly greetings HR Bucherer AG

This works well in the company

The superficial introduction and the bad togetherness make it relatively easy for employees to distance themselves emotionally from the company.

This could be improved

The high fluctuation shows that many workers imagined the company and the job differently than they do in everyday life. People come and go in the departments (e.g. purchasing). The bad management and the "everyone against everyone" principle allows the good employees to move on again after a short time. Nevertheless, there are also older employees who would have a hard time in other companies. There are young "managers", most of whom are overwhelmed and this has consequences for the working atmosphere. I will also look around, because I don't like the workplace at all. And progress is impossible with these structures.

This works well in the company

The company offers internal trainings, some of which are very exciting.

This could be improved

Unfortunately, official continuing education courses are neither supported nor permitted. The career opportunities are e.g. not given in purchasing watches. Too bad and not up-to-date.

Dear employees, dear colleagues Thank you very much for your evaluation in the jobs.ch portal. You have expressed yourself very critically on the subject of development opportunities. We take note of this and regret that you perceive these points negatively. We support further training in the sense of the company, if on the one hand it is important for the development of our employees, on the other hand it is valuable and useful for us. We would like to talk to you directly about your feedback. Please contact us via "hr.switzerland@bucherer.com" or personally in our HR department. Friendly greetings HR Bucherer AG

-The salary and benefits are fine. -There are efforts towards improvement.

This could be improved

-Take the concerns of employees seriously. (By the way: The standard clichéd answer from HR to bad ratings in this portal can be saved in my case. The problems in the company are well known and many employees go to HR with personal feedback, but are left alone or often the situation worsens because they never react in the interest of the employee). -offer employee benefits. -Improve the way we deal with employees and live a true appreciation.

This works well in the company

Motivated work colleagues, nice watches, varied activities

This could be improved

Employees in sales receive ''team'' incentives when a certain target is reached. Those employees who work in the background and thus also contribute a significant part to the goal, can unfortunately not benefit from this ''team'' incentive. This idea came from management and was glorified as a ''team'' incentive.... (which is a joke) If it is constructively criticized, one is only ridiculed and not taken notice of. You don't get any appreciation from the top, even though you are extremely committed to the company while working short time and with less staff. All this during relatively strong sales figures, despite two lockdowns. The training program is unfortunately also very weak (cheap e-learning). If you want to do external training yourself, you are not actively supported. Unfortunately, the focus is too much on expansion and shareholders. If you ask around and discuss within the team, it is clear that many will leave.

A lot has supposedly happened since then. Corona has held up a mirror to the industry.

This could be improved

I had some very unpleasant years there. And the company was doing very well. Now that 90% of the turnover has gone, it won't be any better.
