Associated Transport Organisation Kolkata Reviews

All Sundays are off. We are not asked to do any work on Sundays. Also everyone leaves office by 7pm on weekdays so we can have a comfortable life at home. Saturdays are half days till 3:30pm only. Salary comes by first week of the month. Office is clean and nice.

Dislikes

There is nobody to guide us and show each step. We are only given targets and expected to perform. Luckily I had some seniors who were willing to help me. Sometimes we are sent to do errands of other group companies of the MD that is not related to our key expertise.

Nothing to like in this Company.

Dislikes

In this Company, If you are applying do not apply. They will make you work like machines and still at the end of the day the managing directors will treat you like trash, also accuse you for stealing their money. They will make you do a lot of illegal stuff under your name which will give you a career risk. You might get swayed withthe big office in PS Srijan Park but don’t get lured in that and waste your time. Worst Company to work for in India and West Bengal. The managing directors will behave like you have to wipe their feet if they have hired you as a fresher. All the managing directors have done their Education for oh so expensive schools from Abroad, guess they didn’t teach them Human Relations. Only flaunting the money they didn’t earn and got as a hand me down. There are zero benefits in the company, no leaves and no holidays where all the Corporate houses give holidays. Well my bad, it’s not a corporate house, it’s a grocery store because people get told not to come from the next day. The MDs will question your education and tell that you do not have good education and that you need to study again for college will only make you believe that he must have studied till Class Eight. If you are reading this, take it as a sign read as signal to not work there, in any department whatsoever....Read More

On time salary. I am reporting directly to MD so no office politics. I can directly complain to MD if I have any problem. Flat structure. Only 2 people in legal team full time along with some legal clerks. So not too small and not too big a team.

Dislikes

I have to travel to court everyday for work. Even if court is on holiday I am still required to travel to court. I also have to return back to the corporate office in PS Srijan Corporate Park same day and give the report. Work is good. Probably better than what my peers have to go through in other companies. The person before me here was asked to resign because she had attitude problems and was under performing. Hence now she is creating a bad name for the company and writing false reviews. I think in Bengal finding another legal job is hard hence they are acting like this. One thing I would ask the company to work on is making it easier to file travel reports. I wish there was a separate desk apart from HR who would pass the conveyance bills....Read More

Office is in good location in Sector V. Very modern office with modern interiors. I am paid both PF and ESI and salary given in first week of each month. Work hours are good. Company has corporate culture and no politics. I am directly reporting to management.

Dislikes

There is no privacy as it is open office and all desks are open. So my computer is completely visible. There is no separate cafeteria to eat food so I have to eat lunch at my desk. I did not like the lady Legal Manager I was reporting to before because of her attitude. She was very negative towards the company also and would shout. But she is now leaving the company so I am happy. The New Legal Manager who has come in her place is much better. Directors of the company are very busy most days, so I mostly report to the Legal Manager only....Read More

Work Details

I am mostly looking after legal follow-up and legal book-keeping and billing. I have to travel to court sometimes to attend some legal matters. I am also regularly talking to solicitors.

ATO is one of the few companies that actually cares about statutory compliances. In my final round interview the Director himself asked me specific questions regarding PF/ESI and other HR laws. The entire management always asks me and my associates to follow all due process while hiring. I have to prepare a sheet showing statutory compliances before hiring someone.

Dislikes

I am always overworked. The company has atleast 5 open positions on any day. I had to hit the ground running for recruiting on day 1 and management directly questions us regarding hiring targets. This is good but I wish I had more breathing time.

Work Details

Lots and lots of HR work. Pan-india recruiting done from Kolkata office.

There is nothing to like about working at this company except the fact that you'll get your salary by 5th of each month. Block GP is a very decent area. It's where the office is situated. There are two really good eateries nearby - Kareem's and Opium.

Dislikes

Anybody can be hired or fired at any time. The top brass, except one, is exceptionally whimsical, you'll be asked to do things that is not of your department and knowledge of which will never be of any help to you. The directors often will make you do their personal work, like get some documents, pay their due bills, sort their issues with their housemaids, etc. People keep their job and get hikes through internal politics. They hire and fire based on who knows who. A PA will suddenly be turned into a receptionist. When you ask for reimbursement of your expenses, they'll behave like they're doing you a favour. All of these making it evident that the company is on a download spiralling phase, which is true....Read More

1. salary is always on time. 2. company has lots of legal cases so we gain lot of experience. 3. company believes in no-nonsense culture so anyone who is trying to play the fool is thrown out.

Dislikes

Company should make new legal employees better understand background of their cases. Wish there was more documentation about the history of the cases. Operations team is slow in taking out new documents and sharing with legal team.

Work Details

Good. Hours are quite fixed. Hardly any work after hours. A lot of people have been changed in this position lately because lawyers look for easy work and easy money. Management has tight control so legal people cannot fool around so they leave.
