This works well in the company

I had a modern workplace. I enjoyed my work because I could contribute my own ideas. I had a very good relationship with my supervisor and colleagues.

This could be improved

For me, everything fit quite well. I had a very good time at Schärer & Schläpfer. Nice colleagues in the lab and production, pleasant working atmosphere.

This works well in the company

A lot of money is invested in the modernisation of the plants. Environmental protection and occupational safety are very important to the management. 5 weeks' holiday, collegial working environment, flat hierarchies with short decision-making paths.

This could be improved

Schärer & Schläpfer is a family-run SME and not a large company. The benefits are certainly a little more modest, but for the size of the company quite ok.

This works well in the company

Small company with flat hierarchies. You can see the production flow from the raw material to the finished product.

This could be improved

Communication, leadership, pay and social. Unfortunately there is a gardening mindset and there is a holiday policy (3/4 weeks). The work in production is strict and there are weekend assignments.
