Paid salary on time

Dislikes

1. Office politics... Everybody thinks they are James bond, no one bothers to mind there own business... All are bothered about what the other is doing or thinking... Bosses make your colleagues call you and be on the concall silently and listen to the conversation... And the above is the culture in BATA, since AGES... DISGUSTING CULTURE.

Don't waste your career joining bata, all you'll get is some shortage if you join as store manager, and forgot about f&f and your pf, it will take years to get.

Nothing to like in this company. Maybe the company may have good work culture outside India.But here it sucks big time.

Dislikes

I am really disappointed with the work culture. Only the Store Managers falls under company payroll and the other store associates falls under third party payroll and due to this,if there is any cash or stock shortage, the Store Manager becomes liable for everything. The store Manager has to pay from his pocket all the shortages,orelse FIR will be raised from the company. Be careful, I have seen many SM suffering due to someone else's mistake . The company may seem like an MNC but in real life it's worse than a local Kirana shop....Read More

Worst management ever seen . The management employees are cheater they recruited freshers from college and handover some stores to them then while leave they will ask the freshers to pay shortage amount which is not mentioned in any documents. And they specially recruiting people who don't know about retail and blaming them for the stock shortage and I paid around 50 k for shortage and they holded my salary for 2 months . People here are so cunning bad uneducated people . Don't take this store manager position in bata...Read More

I have given 8 long year to Bata India. HR of the company is that week that they are only there to print letters nothing else, HR is not strong they are just there for the sake of department and to take orders from other department. Am the TOP performer and that must be available in records I got promoted in 2023 as ARM and in May 2023 I went to Indonesia for 1 month for operations review as I was the top performer but in 2024 North ops management got changed and me as a ARM who was supposed to get a region was forced to work under RM as a district manager and that RM couldn’t digest the same designation Emp under him and he went personal on me and given me PIP without giving proper clarification as there were 5-7 employee were performing less then my test and taly and the main point HR didn’t even ask about any that how come a Emp who is already ARM is working as DM and nothing was discussed in front of HR after seeing that PIP I resigned because my worth in the company was more then a PIP. Pathetic atmosphere only personal people got retained and given growth. If am lying then the performance of my territory must be available in Tablue. My feedback can be taken from any department any time....Read More

Dislikes

No internal organisation herirarchy structure in store level.Worst people management company. For newcomers they will not hike any amount from previous employers and they just show our variable highlighted in offer letter and they make people like so high eye opener. Operations support people's like HR and other relevant departmentcomplete deaf and dumb. No rewards and recognition.Strict 12+hours job. No safety and security policy sop in company. On audit, if shortages are found they will debit from us with tax in full MRP. But while releasing some surplus after deduction of tax and margin. They will share our personal mob. number in Web, Google, Invoice. They could have share centralised service centre or Store LL no....Read More
