Dislikes
Due to 24×7 running of trains, field staff and officers are denied genuine leaves which negatively affects personal and family life. Further denial of genuine leaves means earned leave is lapses without compensation making it double loss, Work environment is broadly authoritative, communication is from top to bottom only and no feedback from lower/middle/senior level staff, supervisor n officer taken to improve working conditions or to change in official rules causing impediment n delay or to change terms n conditions of employee-employer relationship or working conditions, needing to beg people fir sanction of entitled perks, highly centralised working n policy making....Read More

One of the corrupt organisation in history of india. It looted common people and salary gives to the officers only who are posted junior there benefits go on vein.
Dislikes
There is many dislikes that one to say about here is staff working as bonded labours. No holiday no rest you have work in shift wise, officers have rest holiday they have all right to take leave and roaming one country to another country . hierarchical in commercial department makes its a corrupt department on Indian railways. Every step you find a seniors who are not listening it's employees welfare seniors know how to snub these employees.
Here compassionate ground recruitment is more prevalent than meritocracy recruitment. Everyway it's snubs meritorious staff and made him dependent on railways job he have no way to leave it.
Juniors are getting very low as officers got 5 to 20 fold salary of juniors but there work is very poor even cbs, CMI/CCI even write a letter to officers just copy it forward it the officers.
Seniors only know how to exploit this junior employee by not giving proper rest leave holiday leave etc...Read More

Only good thing is that it's a government job. That's it. Rest is worst. Don't come do a private job. After NPS it doesn't even have free pension.
Dislikes
No personal time. Leave don't get approved. Posting is so remote that you won't a soul to talk to. Just avoid it. It's pathetic job with zero future. This job experience won't get you anywhere.

The behaviour of Punjab ticket collector is very rude, they physically abused to the passenger and had no petition on the person if someone has their tickets but by mistake he is in wrong cabin, so no guidance and put the huge charges on the passenger, once a time infront of my eyes one punjabi ticket collector slapped the passenger this is so rude behaviour i have ever seen.
