This works well in the company

Not everything is great at Unia - but that's not the case in most companies. I can't speak for all departments, but basically we have open and fair management, good working conditions and a very human working atmosphere.

This could be improved

Sometimes management needs to take a closer look and prevent people from overworking themselves. But that would also be a bit of personal responsibility on the part of the employees.

This works well in the company

I joined Unia to stand up for the Swiss workers. However, when I saw how they were let down, I could no longer stand behind them. As everyone is overworked, members who urgently need help are often ignored. There is an irritable atmosphere and the superiors expect impossible things while they themselves do not perform very well.

This could be improved

Unia should also comply with what it demands from others and likes to publicly denounce. But they do not. The work at Unia is characterized by massive pressure to perform and a bad atmosphere.

This works well in the company

Wanting to help others in the name of a union would make sense, unfortunately the union does not help, does not keep its own promises and values, members who need help are often ignored. Criticism of the procedure is not desired, otherwise you will be punished by the superiors for it. The appearance must be maintained that everything is great although it is not so!

This could be improved

Outwardly, the appearance is awakened that everything is great but inside is anything but great! Bad working atmosphere and high performance pressure are commonplace.

Thought long and hard, but found nothing. That's sad, but true.

This could be improved

Honesty and openness would be a great help. Human interaction with employees would be desirable.

According to the evaluations, you have a very bad reputation, but the application process seemed correct to me.

This could be improved

I can't judge in this case. Only had a brief contact with the company.

The employees are very friendly and the interview was also very pleasant. The interview was structured and all my questions were answered satisfactorily.

This could be improved

Culture of feedback: After the interview, I never heard anything again despite several phone calls and an email requesting feedback. If I had imagined a completely different kind of union institution... I never received a refusal, but after 1 week the same job was advertised again... I was very disappointed.

Interesting not everyday fields of work, social, multicultural, thinking & contributing desired. There is also room for lateral thinkers or people who do not comply with the standard.

This could be improved

It is not always easy to move within a political organization. Although decentralised structures take regional "specialities" into account, they make cooperation more difficult.

I can't tell you. But the reputation that the Unia has has only been confirmed to me.

This could be improved

Clear, open communication, honesty. It's funny that you just don't get an answer once the job has been filled. Dealing with people at Unia still seems to have a lot of potential for improvement.

Not much. Outside, one is propagandized to be a social and decent employer, but the truth only becomes apparent when one has worked there.

This could be improved

Decent dealings with employees would be particularly important. But there are also major shortcomings in all other areas.

Young and cheap

All they want is young, cheap employees. Professional and life experience is not desired. From the age of 40 you have no change to work here anymore.

Employer comment

Thank you for your feedback. If you should have gained this impression, we are very sorry. We attach great importance to a balanced age structure, as well as to a good mix of women and men in our team. We also provide training and our employees are aged between 27 and 62 with the exception of our trainees, of whom 55 % are currently over 40 years of age. Friendly greetings Anke Gähme regional manager In this respect, we must contradict your impression.
