It's hard to say, I had been working in this company for 5 years.
This could be improved
Management and communication flow to be improved. Typical Swiss German working atmosphere, i.e. very cold, no joy at work. Poor working environment as it is every man for himself. The company has no competence and no know-how regarding the sales region of French-speaking Switzerland. The staff is quickly changed if we don't have the same objectives. HR changes very regularly, so there is no stability in the staff. Even the customers are not satisfied with the company, there are many complaints. Various internal departments do not even work together within the company.

Employer comment
16 March 2023March 2023
We are very sorry that the employment relationship in the company Wyss Samen und Pflanzen AG has left such a negative impression. Yes, we are a German-speaking Swiss company and have always made every effort to meet the requirements of the French-speaking part of Switzerland. The language barrier is certainly still a problem. Your feedback refers to the Raumgrün division, which is active in plant service. In this area, both the service employees and the sales consultants are largely on their own. Understandably, this leads to a great deal of self-responsibility and independence. As head of HR, I can only speak for myself. But for the past three years, there has been a steady process of improvement in the comprehensive support provided to employees as well as in internal communication among the various departments. Stability, support and assistance are written in capital letters here and are very much appreciated by the employees. The family-like and respectful way of dealing with each other is cultivated and I personally appreciate it very much. We wish you only the best for your future.
