This works well in the company

Wages are paid on time, collegiality among drivers is good

This could be improved

The function of the supervisors in the driver's area should be reconsidered. Unfortunately, the patriarchal management styles are not up to date. The tasks that are performed by the supervisors differ greatly, one is godlike and error-free, others are not interested in what you do, very few are really competent.

This works well in the company

I can't say anything about that. Due to no reaction on the part of the BVB to my application documents, no contact was made.

This could be improved

A reaction to an application would be very desirable. This should be a matter of course.

Open culture between employees. Great helpfulness.

This could be improved

The stability in the management is important, so that also within the structures a further development of the company can take place.

This works well in the company

- Clear hierarchical organisational structure and classification, as well as seniority, ensure transparency in payroll, decision-making and competence matters. - The increase in the salary's experience, which the canton has envisaged as an instrument of management - but which nobody can grasp - guarantees (quasi) automatic annual wage increases (CHF1000+). - no tedious and dangerous transparency through key figures and other performance indicators

This could be improved

Easy one> Management: It doesn't take a PWC study to understand that the suitability of an executive - one with particularly comprehensive >financial< competencies - with a record-breaking fluctuation rate of over 400% (!) since taking up the position, may well have been denied an identical position in the former company despite interim management.

Bad working climate / dictators in GL

Former employee

24 October 2018

- Bad working conditions (e.g. salary) - No incentive wage and despite always wage increase - this encourages "comfortable" and unmotivated employees to do nothing - Very poor HR department (unorganised/unreliable) - Overstaffing in many departments while others run at the limit - The management level leaves much to be desired (superiors unable to make decisions), the management and the upper management are dictators. - Employee satisfaction has been very low for years and despite regular employee surveys, nothing is changed. Instead, time-consuming, ineffective workshops are held. wasted staff time Looking back - one of my worst decisions to work there

IT

Former employee

06 August 2018

IT operation as in Gotthelf's times. Creativity and improvements are not desired, since the last 30 years have proven themselves: among other things servers are set up by hand and that in 2018......
