This works well in the company

The salary always comes on time. Application process very short and fast.

This could be improved

You can see that Reca belongs to the Würth Group, many options and suggestions are taken over and implemented. Unfortunately, the management of Reca Switzerland is not always the best. Very often they keep employees who take advantage of the position they have. There are reasons why there are sales managers who had to reduce their group from 10 employees to 4 within 1.5 years. (Self resigned) I think as a stepping stone for the sales force Reca is optimal. And if you are absolutely committed and a little lucky, and can take over an area, this is definitely the right thing. The internal service is not the yellow of the egg. Unfortunately, there is a lot of working against each other. There are opportunities for advancement, but unfortunately they are often decided by gut feeling and not by performance.

This works well in the company

punctual pay, easy as well as quick employment. basically relatively flat structures.

This could be improved

internally, a clear structure would have to be set up urgently and then also adhered to. unfortunately, as an ad employee, you received very little support from the office, so that a lot of work stuck to you. i assume that this was due to the fact that many positions were filled by good people who, however, could not present any noteworthy experience in the area of activity. when working well, which was definitely the case for me, I was constantly asked to do much more. in order to be able to receive the bonuses at the end of the month, I usually averaged 10h rather than 8.5. it gave me the feeling that I had to compensate for the less well performing AD employees with my sales figures. i recommend the company to everyone who wants to enter the industry. i tend to advise experienced sales representatives not to do so. unless you have nerves of steel regarding certain competencies in your own ranks, are not too shy to work 10-11h and pull weaker ones along or balance them out with your own numbers within the group. i wish the company a good future. hopefully you will have eliminated the teething troubles in a few years and will be able to play a leading role in switzerland as a subsidiary of würth.

This works well in the company

You help each other and the atmosphere in our group is top! You can work very independently and is not constantly controlled. Car may be used privately. Good for gaining initial experience in field service.

This could be improved

Introduce 13th month wage and 5 weeks vacation! Who gets a good sales territory also has good chances of commission. But since there are currently usually 2-3 people in the same area, this is becoming increasingly difficult for new employees. In addition, new and junior salespeople are only allowed to offer a fraction of what A- salespeople are allowed to sell. In general, the salary for a sales job is rather low. I advise new employees to negotiate a good fixed salary with which they can live well for 3 years. The biggest conflict is usually between the office and the sales force where in the end the AD is ALWAYS to blame (even if the mistake obviously happened in the office). In addition, certain employees in the office unfortunately make not exactly few mistakes. There is an urgent need for action here. Promotion opportunities only exist if the numbers are right! No value is placed on completed training. Only those who write good numbers are appreciated here. Should be reconsidered!

20 May 2022

Thank you for your suggestions and praise. It is very important to us that our employees feel comfortable. It would therefore be nice to have a confidential discussion to find out more about the conflicts that have been raised, because appreciative cooperation and mutual acceptance are crucial to the success or failure of our company. Direct selling is changing due to increasing competition and is becoming more and more competitive overall. We generate added value for customers and employees through training and actively promoted knowledge transfer among our sales staff. Clear goals play a decisive role in this, and thanks to them we are all pulling in the same direction. Individual target achievement provides additional motivation and shows whether you are on the right track. It is therefore customary to receive a commission for personal successes in addition to the fixed salary. Expenses, private use of the company car and above-average social benefits round off our additional benefits. For recreation we offer our employees 23 days of vacation, from the second completed year of work 25 days and from the fifth year even 26 days. Once again, we would like to thank you and look forward to a good working relationship in the future.

This works well in the company

Benefits from the group structure, so job seems relatively secure and pay comes on time.

This could be improved

The old system of sales in the field continues to be maintained and is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve the necessary sales in this position. The company is practically non-existent via internet search. Homepage quality management with certificate that has expired for more than three years and key figures that have not been continued since 2016. Here you can clearly see the weakness of the management.

Thank you for your input! The relaunch of our website was also an urgent concern for us. We are therefore very pleased to present our website in a new design since the beginning of the year (www.reca.ch). Currently, it is also being translated into French in order to position ourselves clearly in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. We are maintaining the organization of our sales force in order to ensure a close network of personal customer support by our sales representatives. In this respect, customer service is our top priority. The working tools and systems are constantly being technologically adapted in the awareness that we are not only following the craft 4.0, but actively shaping it. We are grateful for any additional questions or feedback in this regard and will be happy to answer them at hr@reca.ch (confidentially, if you wish).

This works well in the company

The only thing that works well in the company is that the wages are always paid on time.

This could be improved

The salary is not adapted to modern times, you have 4 weeks of vacation and no 13th month salary. You work many more hours than stated and you can't draw them. There is a lack of professional leadership and no career opportunities. The company has no structure and outdated processes. There are too many employees who are not technically trained and enjoy too much authority.

This works well in the company

Team spirit is very important. If you have a problem or questions, you can turn to anyone. Despite the size of the company, it is very familiar. I can only recommend this company. The evaluation mentioned below, that allegedly everyone bosses around etc. is not understandable for me at all. I can't understand it at all, must be a former frustrated employee who has noticed what he is missing. I could not mention one bad experience, everyone is pulling in the same direction.

This could be improved

I see very little potential for improvement at Reca at the moment. Like in a family, even the management talks to the employee at eye level. The superiors in general are very helpful and solution-oriented can only mention this company in the best sense.

Everyone can do what he wants. Everyone in the office is the boss and orders around a bit. Especially the young ones. And and and and.....

Thank you very much for mirroring your personal experience. We are proud that we were able to offer our employees a secure job even in times of the pandemic, maintain operations without short-time work, and pay out the usual salaries on time at the end of the month. Our team in the BackOffice gives everything to support their colleagues in sales. Each individual acts with clearly defined competencies and associated responsibilities. We live flat hierarchies in which it is open to every employee to give feedback or criticism. We grow from the exchange with customers and employees and are happy to put constructive suggestions into practice. We are very sorry that this opportunity was missed and wish you all the best for your future career.

Supervisors grant full responsibility and competence in their own field of expertise. Nevertheless, support is provided where necessary and when requested, and competent management is provided. I feel challenged and can develop further to an unimagined degree. The team is very familiar and the hierarchies are flat. German parent company offers security but does not spoil SME culture. I can only recommend the employer!

This could be improved

Unfortunately, the tool trade is not one of the best paid industries - but prefer to work in peace rather than earn a golden nose with a broken psyche. The company is growing and therefore some processes are not yet mature. But that will come and you can actively participate.

I applied for a field job. The application process was very fast and fast. Unfortunately I didn't get any confirmation, because I was only the 2 BEST applicant. I will apply again for a vacant position in any case and hope for a 2 chance at this company.

There is nothing to improve, the company is simply TOP and hope for a 2 chance

I have been working for this company for a year now. My performance is 100 % reprimanded, something I have never experienced before. The contact is very good and helpful. Team events are also often held and with appropriate performance you have the opportunity to participate in special events. (Ski races, Formula E races etc.). The office staff is always competent and helpful! Working in this company was the best decision!

This could be improved

Suggestions for improvement can be made at any time and are examined with great commitment.
