It worked great, and the young "civil servants" were an important corner stone of social sevices and care for the elderly. I myself got a 3 month medical education and worked as a paramedic assistant/ambulance driver during my service.
Why did they get rid of it?
We first and foremost got rid of mandatory military service because it wasn't deemed appropriate for the times anymore, and the alternative social service thing ended as collateral damage basically.
