Victorinox produces and sells unique, high quality products worldwide which are of practical use in differing areas of life: pocket knives, household and professional knives, watches, travel gear and fragrances. The headquarters of this family-owned company are located in Ibach, Schwyz. This is where the founder Karl Elsener first set up his cutler’s business in 1884 and, a few years later, designed the legendary «Original Swiss Army Knife». Today, the commitment of over 2,200 employees contributes to Victorinox’s success story every day.
Great enterprise and management. Working conditions are great, and the climate suits me very well.
This could be improved
The pay could be better. But I find that this is offset by benefits such as the generous KiZu. With the internal promotion opportunities, you have to be a little lucky that a suitable position is currently open.

This works well in the company
The brand is top. The products too.
The clientele varied and very interesting.
It is a good feeling to be able to offer such a prestige CH product.
You can definitely stand by the prices and the quality.
This could be improved
The pay is ridiculous. An unskilled cleaner gets paid more.
It works almost everybody against everybody. There can be no question of teamwork.
Envy and resentment between the long-standing employees and the new ones - especially when you're a little better. Wrong employees who are nice to the outside and then fall in your back. Impossible and above all unnecessary.
Storemanagerin should be replaced, because not competent enough. She decides according to sympathy and not according to ability.

It's almost impossible to work in my department. Everyone against everyone on the team can be no talk. The print is getting bigger and bigger, faster and faster and better quality is demanded. The whole thing goes so far that slowly everyone goes crazy and has or gets psychological problems.
