This works well in the company

I have been working at WRS AG for some time now. There are various further training courses that you can complete and you are also supported.

This could be improved

I haven't had any bad experiences at all. Everyone is nice and helpful.

It did not come (more) since from one day to the next no one more reported or was available!

This could be improved

After several conversations, a contract negotiation was already underway. Suddenly no one contacted us, no rejection, no one picked up the phone, and emails were no longer answered. That is disdainful and disrespectful to an applicant!

This works well in the company

Already during my training as a businesswoman I got the offer to stay in the company in order to gain further work experience. It was a great relief to not have to be looking for a job at the same time during the final exams. Furthermore, working with the friendly and open team is a lot of fun.

This could be improved

I think I currently lack the experience in operational processes to be able to make a meaningful assessment of this.

Work with proactive demands, challenging in structure, varied with good employee cohesion.

As a service provider short foresight can be exhausting but otherwise hardly possible

Got in over eight years ago and I'm still in. Of course, not everything can run smoothly, but meanwhile it is a complete family business and it is fun not to be declared to a corporation or municipal enterprise only as a number. Those who carry out their work cleanly and correctly also get a thank you and this means very much

This could be improved

none, other companies can see the WRS as a role model and the employees learn from it not only as a number to see

Very good working atmosphere with family management. In contrast to larger companies, most employees are known because there are business occasions for everyone. As an employee, I receive esteem and was able to develop further if I wanted to and if the opportunities were available.

This could be improved

As it is a small company it is partly hectic and you have to be flexible. But if you like variety, like me, it never gets boring and you are in the right place.

Very good working atmosphere, family environment, good opportunities for further training, rest and holidays are very much taken into account.

This could be improved

There is partial potential for improvement in the agreement between administration and employees.

Family environment, very respectful and appreciative contact. Great opportunity to get involved and make your own contribution. Positive feedback culture. You can work very independently in a wide range of tasks. Good opportunities for further training.

This could be improved

Check fringe benefits. Process adaptations and software optimizations (partly)

It can't get any worse

Former employee

Overtime and guest trips are simply not paid. ASG is not adhered to

Translated from German

Employer comment

15 January 2019

The WRS has annual working hours. The WRS pays out additional hours after consultation with employees, whereby most of the additional hours are preferably compensated by the employees. The WRS adheres to the AZG (Working Hours Act) and monitors compliance on a daily basis (violations are noticed when employees leave the company). If working hours are extended due to rail disruptions and this leads to AZG violations, this is discussed with the employees.

Translated from German

No salary after leaving the company

Former employee

Tails bad or not at all. Bad working conditions. Working hours too long

Translated from German

Employer comment

15 January 2019

The WRS plans different tours from 5 hours to max. 10 hours (these include breaks of 1 - 1.5 hours). The AZG (Working Hours Act) is observed and compliance is monitored. Experience has shown that our employees appreciate the family environment, the respectful interaction with each other, the interesting tours and the opportunities for further training.
