Indian Railways Reviews

I am currently working as SALP on goods train. Medical facilities, train pass, and a little respect in society bcoz you are working in Railways. Salary is somewhat good. At the end of the month, I take 75,000+ monthly gross salary, out of which 7500+ is deducted. So, now my net salary is 67-68k per month.

Dislikes

Life is very hectic and no work schedule. Average duty hours is 10-12 hrs. Sleep routine is disturbed. When I go to work, I stay out of home for 1-2 days, and when I come back I only get 16-20 hrs to spend at home. Very strict job. Even a little mistake isn't tolerated because the post falls into safety category. You will earn a lot in this post, but won't get to spend it.

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.
