Pluspunten
Working at OZ was an experience filled with both opportunities and challenges. One of the few positive aspects was the exposure to continuous learning. The company provided training not only in one’s specific field but also in related areas, allowing employees to develop diverse skills and gain new knowledge across different domains. It was a place where curiosity and learning could flourish, at least in theory.
Minpunten
However, the reality of working there often overshadowed these learning opportunities. The organization demanded 44-hour work weeks, leaving little room for personal time or a healthy work-life balance. Once you became part of the company, it felt as if your personal life slowly disappeared — work consumed everything. The management structure was another major concern. All the senior positions — from the CEO to the HR and Marketing VPs — were held by members of the same family. This created an environment where decisions were driven by personal interests rather than fairness or professionalism. The atmosphere was toxic, and respect for employees was severely lacking. In some cases, even inappropriate language was used toward staff, which deeply affected morale. Employees stayed mostly out of necessity, not loyalty or passion. Despite their hard work, fair compensation was often not provided, and many felt undervalued and underpaid. Overall, OZ was a place where one could learn a great deal — but at the cost of peace, respect, and balance. It was a chapter full of lessons, not just about work, but about the importance of a healthy workplace and humane leadership.
