      underpaid, overworked, lack of support

      Purchasing assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good for a short term role to get some office experience (very popular with native germans or german graduates from english uni's) and then move on!

      Cons

      - terrible pay, you can do much better else where. - incredibly high turnover of staff (roughly one member of staff leaving per month on average) - management are unorganised, useless at making decisions and hire staff with no office experience or who are interested in only hanging around for 6 months before leaving. - managers do not motivate staff or offer positive feedback leaving staff feeling undervalued.

      Extremely High Pressure

      District manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Well Paid Company car - fully expensed Manage your own schedule

      Cons

      Everything in done with pen and paper - bare-bones I.T. Unrealistic targets which are constantly increased if they are met. Work is duplicated at various levels - internally no one trusts each other Constant change in assigned tasks without any communication of the end goal Constantly pushed to be a mean manager, you are not allowed to show respect for colleagues.
