“Scythian Gifts” is a well-known organization in St. Petersburg specializing in the manufacture and delivery of dishes of Georgian, Italian, Japanese and Ossetian cuisine. The most famous of this company was brought by the most delicious Ossetian pies, which melt in the mouth and delight the eye with their golden crust. Here are just opinions about the company of customers and the employees themselves differ significantly. What is the reason for this? And what do former and current employees say about the organization?
A few words about the organization
“Gifts of the Scythians” (we describe the reviews of this company below) is a company with its own production department, a bakery and a delivery service. The main building of the organization is located in the premises of the previously known First Confectionery Factory called "Excitement." Therefore, this organization has a great past and great traditions of the future.
Company main dishes
Based on the opinions of consumers and the organization’s employees themselves , Ossetian pies are the most popular and delicious here. It is believed that this is a traditional dish of the people of Ossetia, which they eat not only on holidays, but also every day. They are created manually by experienced Ossetian cooks. Therefore, their pies and have a unique and stable taste. And it is precisely them that the Gifts of the Scythians firmly advertise. Reviews (St. Petersburg - the city where the company office is located) of employees allow us to understand how the internal organization of the cooking process differs from the external.
Opinions of employees about the location of the company
If you found an advertisement for a job in the company “Gifts of the Scythians”, Do not rush to run to the phone and call. First, we recommend that you study the reviews of people who have already managed to work here. For example, some of them confidently talk about the large number of advantages of this organization. Among them, they distinguish a good location. Recall that this company is located at: B. Sampsonievsky Ave., 77/7, lit. A. You can get here from the 1st Murinsky Prospekt. As a guide, you can pay attention to the closed metro station Lesnaya, the administration building of the Vyborg district and the picturesque Voroninsky square.
Of course, there are also employees dissatisfied with the location of the institution. According to their stories, getting here is easier by car. If you do not have personal transport, then you will have to go to the “Scythian Gifts” with transfers using public transport. As you can see, in this case opinions are divided.
What do employees say about the team?
Some former employees cite a lot of reasons why you should not get a job in this company. One of them is the lack of coherence in the team.
According to the stories of employees, one gets the impression that everyone is for himself. On the one hand, this is understandable: the courier does one job, and the baker does the other. But on the other, there is no warm and inviting atmosphere that should reign in a real collective.
On the contrary, former employees complain, everyone is ready to set you up in order to shield themselves. There are also cases when a shift operator simply does not go to work without informing anyone. As a result, completely different people who have already managed to work out their set time earlier have to be blown away for it. Moreover, as nowhere else in this company there are constant squabbles and friction between colleagues. Someone is constantly dissatisfied with something. Sometimes, according to employees, after the next scandals I don’t feel like returning to the “Scythian Gifts”.
General opinion about the leaders of the organization
Special attention, according to employees, deserves the top management of the company. According to their stories, it becomes clear that it perceives only the receipt of profit and tries to please customers. The conversation with the working staff is a short a la "work in the sweat of your face without any questions or get out of the organization" Gifts of the Scythians "." Employee reviews and their opinions on management allow us to create a clear vision of the company.
So, according to the stories of some workers, not only working conditions and some organizational issues need concrete refinement, but also the very attitude of the leadership towards its subordinates. For example, in this organization salaries are often delayed. As some users who previously worked in this company say, when you apply for a job, they promise you a lot and a lot.
However, after a trial period, time passes, and literally you have to wait for months to pay. For the same reason, says one of the employees, “Gifts of the Scythians” have a big turnover. And because of this, failures often occur in the quality of the supplied products. Buyers often complain about such unpleasant moments:
- Delay in delivery.
- Confusion with orders.
- Poorly prepared dish (burnt top or bottom, stale cheese), etc.
And many users associate such problems with the flow of old and incompetent new personnel of the company “Gifts of the Scythians”. Reviews (photo cards for the best travel to the organization you will find in our article) about the delivery service also confirm these assumptions.
General working conditions for employees: assessment
According to many ex-employees, if you evaluate all the work in this company on a five-point scale, then the working conditions, the availability of benefits and social packages, working conditions and relationships in the team are worthy of a solid, but very shaky triple. According to employees, difficulties arise here in everything from time off to a legally earned vacation. It is literally necessary to beg for it from adamant leadership. What to say about leaving on maternity leave or sick leave. According to employees, everything is at their own expense (with rare exceptions).
Not happy with the presence of traditional nepotism in the team. Often, relatives of management or people close to them appear among employees. At the same time, the relatives themselves get work in the style of “Do not hit the speed bump”. But this is not so bad, employees complain. Another thing is that they don’t want to work. It is impossible to complain about them, but their responsibilities often fall on the shoulders of other workers. As a result, employees receive a salary without taking into account the work of others that they performed "for themselves and that guy."
A bit of positive from harsh everyday life
From the positive aspects, perhaps, one can single out the fact that employees of the organization sometimes still relax. Very rarely, but the company organizes corporate parties and thematic evenings, so to speak, to bring the team closer. And of course, the company gives discounts to employees who can taste all dishes of the Italian, Georgian and other cuisines of the “Gifts of the Scythians”.
