Your First Day with Us
You will receive an email with information on the specific arrangements for your first day at work in plenty of time. Then it is finally time for the day itself: We will welcome you to the team on the first day of the month at a special welcome event. This event will cover all the key things you need to know about Schwarz as an employer and how to get off to the best start with us. You will learn who your points of contact are and get the opportunity to meet other new employees. You will also receive your work equipment, of course. We will make sure that you are well catered for with a tasty breakfast and joint lunch. Finally, your manager and mentor will welcome you to your workplace and introduce your team and the administrative office. If you do not start at the beginning of a month, the process is a little different. You will receive your work equipment on your first day and meet your manager, mentor and team straight away.

Your Individual Onboarding
Your manager has worked with the administrative office to put together an individual onboarding plan for you. This plan will cover the key interfaces, onboarding with the department and, where applicable, with Sales. You can view the specific content and schedule at any time in your onboarding plan.
Is Anything Still Unclear?
No problem – we have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions and answers about starting at our company in our FAQs.
Business Environment
We offer a range of flexible working time models to cater to the different needs of our employees. If mobile working is possible in principle in your particular area of work, you and your manager will work together to determine the specific arrangements.
We did away with formal greetings and suits and ties a long time ago. Depending on your area of work, you may have a specific uniform. In that case, you can follow the guidelines for your department. Otherwise, we are business casual. This includes blazers/jackets/cardigans, blouses/shirts/sweaters, jeans/chinos/slacks, and knee-length or long dresses and skirts. In terms of shoes, pumps or flat shoes/lace-ups are fine. Simply be yourself and wear what makes you feel comfortable!
Our larger sites have staff restaurants. These serve sandwiches, egg dishes, yogurt, fruit and coffee specialties at breakfast, and a variety of options at lunch, including burgers, pinsa, salads, baked goods and ice cream. Our restaurants cater to a variety of dietary preferences and serve vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose-free dishes. The menus provide detailed information on the main components of the dishes, including the type of meat that the dish contains. Further information about our restaurants and their locations is available here.
Free parking is available at all our sites. Stiftsberg, for example, has two large parking garages. The barriers are opened each morning and you can just drive in. If the barriers are already down on your first day of work, you can contact the security service at the barrier and they will then open it for you. Once you have your access card, you can then access the parking garages even if the barriers are down. Please do not park in the reserved parking spaces. There are also other parking spaces available around the building.
As well as offering an attractive salary and secure future prospects, we are keen to make your day-to-day working life as enjoyable as possible and offer opportunities for development. That is why we offer a whole host of benefits tailored to your individual interests and needs.
Workplace Equipment
All the work equipment, access credentials and authorizations that you need for your job will be requested and prepared for you before your first day.
