People see you equivalent to an officer in the plant. Salary comes on time.

Dislikes

Top level management tries to cut cost by reducing the manpower and thereby increasing the workload on existing people. Too much work pressure on everyone except the topmost level management.

I joined as a (GAT) Graduate Apprentice Trainee for a tenure of 1 year. After successful completion of my training the contract was not extended (seems like a company policy), and this happened with other GATs of my time as well as the previous GATs. Everything was good except for the fact that there was literally no scope for me to enrich my knowledge in my field (Civil engineering) as I was appointed for Retail upgradation aka Automation. As I worked for the smallest tenure so the salary increments or appraisal wasn't applicable on me, but I have seen other officers who joined at the same time and those incentives were quite good for them . Apart from this, work pressure was there quite a lot, so you can't get out of the office regularly after the working hour, but that wasn't really big problem as the people I worked with were good....Read More

Dislikes

The thing I disliked is that till now there is no scope for the trainee to get hired in the same company for which we have worked for a year.

The main thing to like about HPCL is that is is a PSU moreover after the take over by ONGC it now gains the "Maharatna company" status. Work culture here is sort of okay not ver good not too bad. You have to work 8 hours a day and 5 days a week. You get a good package and other allowances ....Read More

Dislikes

Since I was only a Graduate Apprentice Trainee (GAT) and not an officer, there is no job security. There is no policy for absorbing the GAT after one year completion which is very disappointing. As I was working just like an officer having good amount of knowledge and contacts with various dealers and vendors for the smooth execution of even difficult works but at the end of a year I was out. Just one basic thing I don't understand is that how a company could let go one of his trained person who is handing a particular work and is doing great in it, instead taking new guys who comes through GATE having no knowledge or experience....Read More

Friendly colleagues, didn't experience any 'Bossing' from my seniors. My senior gave me opportunity to learn many things, gave responsibilities and gave freedom to take decisions.

Dislikes

I was Apprentice Trainee, but had to work in shifts, handled works which we were not supposed to do. And even worked on Sundays, overtime during audits with no extra pay. These were clear violations of Apprentice act,1961 under which I was recruited. Only reason I agreed and obeyed the orders of the Manager was becoz he was the one who was to prepare our progress report quarterly. I was expecting to get good remarks so that I might get employment opportunity in the organisation. But this training was a useless one, where I didn't get job in the same organisation or any other. Many times I saw notes in Vacancy ads mentioned as 'Apprenticeship will not be considered as Experience'. Hence I became "Skilled Unemployed". Thanks to Ministry of Skill Development, Skill India Mission....Read More
