Its a wonderful place to work at if you don't seek any growth or learning opportunity. Appraisals are fair from the upper management given your immediate boss is unbiased. Also, new ideas are appreciated by the upper management if you manage to make your voices heard (which is the most difficult thing in this company given the strict hierarchy).
Dislikes
Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. In some departments, employees good at their job are kept at the same position for years instead of promoting them. An employee at a senior position has no work-life balance as getting calls from the management after work, sometimes late at night, is a common practice. There is no one to hear complaints against other employees (specially if they are your bosses) if you are being treated in an unfair or hostile manner. The work environment is quite abusive and hostile in some departments. The HR department is only for hiring and firing purpose and for organizing parties once a year. Exit process is quite troublesome if you decide to resign for better opportunity....Read More

My work was hectic but fun as I loved interacting with my buyers and coordinate order execution. However, it was a constant battle between doing the right thing while meeting profit goals; or work unethically to exceed those goals as they preferred later.

Toxic Work culture
Dislikes
EDCONS is name of another horrible company of Kolkata. Although the company has Internal Complaint Committee (ICC), celebrates International Womens' Day, provides car facility to the female staffs from CIT Point & Bypass Dhaba but the female staffs are not safe in this company. On October-November, 2023 so many female staffs left this company in a protest of a molestation incident and fearing for their self respect. Also knowing the incident, the ICC remained silent and the management forced the victim to resign.
The human resource department is so terrific. The HRs are ignorant of the industry. They appoint the merchandisers by measuring the beauty, appeal, show-off, over smartness and body flexibility. How much you know, what about your experience it does not matter at the time of interview....Read More
It is a good company for freshers only. A fresher or junior can learn very well ( at the price of mental peace but I'll let it slide because of experience and knowledge)
If you're looking for senior position, they might have you on board and fire you at any point of time.
Dislikes
Biased towards selective employees.
Poor appraisal.
They keep saying to take legal step if an employee serves less than 2 months notice period but on the other hand they lay off employees as their will without any notice period.
They keep misbehaving unless you quit.
They talk rubbish behind your back and in the industry when you quit.

Good for learning. Benefits are too good in comparison to other export houses. They even provide a pick & drop facility for female employees.

Very poor work life balance. Management is horrible. Very partial & biased hierarchy. Job security is zero.

There's nothing likeable here. It's the most unorganized company I've ever worked in. People do politics more than business. There no good thing I can think about working here.

Work culture, higher admistration, job security everything is worthless. And you will see some politics here.

Only few of my colleagues who are also trying leave this pathetic company.
Dislikes
People are leaving this company everyday. In my just 1 year of tenure I saw around 30 people left. Its like every 6 months the whole team changes as nobody can stay in such a downgrading company. Even the clients understands how demeaning is the owner.
This company is an absolute nightmare to work for, and it all boils down to the owner, who is the worst person you could ever imagine. He tries hard to maintain a good face in front of others, but it doesn’t take long after working with him to see how truly pathetic he is as a person. Honestly, even an animal would be a better fit to lead.
The owner’s behavior is beyond erratic—constantly changing his mind and creating chaos. His ego takes over when an employee tries to leave and move on, making their life miserable. He forces employees to send fake, flattering emails about the company and uses legal threats to intimidate those trying to escape. He expects employees to work endlessly without regard for their well-being. His behavior becomes utterly atrocious whenever someone attempts to leave his horrible company.
Even the clients see through his facade and laugh at him behind his back. It’s clear they understand how fake and untrustworthy he is. Who would want to work with such a pathetic individual?
If you value your sanity, steer clear of this company....Read More

The company provides point pick up and drop for all the lady staffs and work environment is very friendly especially for women. The company run by the professionals and utmost importance is given on team work. People are working here for more than 15-20 yrs. Some people have given negative comments here those could be their own perception but I strongly oppose the words like "indecent relationship", "bribe" etc which have been used intentionally to depicting the company wrongly to others. The company has an ICC committee to address all internal complaints. The Management is very supportive and always encourages the new ideas and suggestion from the employees....Read More
