Pros

Presence in tier two cities .

Cons

Every morning you wake up with surprise here as the top management had dream something last night & they likely execute it next day . Your life is hell if you a are a category manager as they feel these segment of human beings are born to be squeezed. With a danger of salary cuts they are expected to go out in an open market & sell to retailers apart from buying they do. There have been cuts in variable pay which is already a non fixed income. The leaders come with a unique situation every day & sometimes in evening when u are about to logg off. The backend infra is 'desi' & dc people have no automation. They suffer Salary cuts every month . Inspite of having good funding they do chindigiri with their employees. They are clueless how to drive regional team for business. Beside this they use to take daily update on how 9hrs of work has been segregated , what did you do whole day. You are asked to define this on a Google sheet .
