Amazing Work Culture, but Poor Salary Structure

Production leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. No boundaries attached or created. All works together. Even the CEO would be standing next to you and working 2. Amazing learning. The amount of work I learnt cannot be measured or explained 3. Responsibility. No one bugs or tells you what to do. You are the sole owner and responsible for the result 4. Amazing growth for the right person. People have ended up becoming store managers within 2 years 5. They promote zig-zag career growth; today you may be working in Logistics and tomorrow you may join the IT. Its that awesome 6. Lot of sports involved 7. Passionate about lowering product prices and customer happiness 8. Monthly manager debrief culture is unique and important

Cons

1. Pay is horrible. You may start as low as 18000. Even after 5-6 years you may not be earning that much compared to your peers in other firms 2. Work can get crazy, especially in stores. Store people have no life; most of them work on weekends till late night like zombies!

Pros

best if u r 12th pass or graduate they don't bother for qualification they just hired.

Cons

* They just want typical labours to stand whole day and do all sort of physical work. * they dont even provide cup of tea or coffee to employees. * Mba student they are hiring and making them folding clothes for whole day. * poor timings reaching late at home then next day morning shift. * on the name of sports passionate people they are spoiling careers of many

Not good

Business Outlook

Pros

Well the only thing good I can come up with is that you are given good job titles which look good on your resume.

Cons

The company cares only about customer satisfaction but not even their own employees! Pay is below bar and you are made to work twice as much. Working 6 full days a week is very taxing. In the name of cost cutting, the resources provided are below bare minimum in terms of ERP systems, comfort level and just about anything. Higher management is very unprofessional in dealing with employees, hardly any appreciation after all the hard work and open discrimination is very evident. Zero work life balance.
