ITC Gurgaon / Gurugram Reviews

Likes

Nothing you can like about this bureaucratic company running by graduate passed lower level mgt sales officers turned into assistant managers and branch managers, all all egoistic and are of of narcissistic character. Only good thing about them is their brand name and nothing else. They hire you for Sales trainee profile being an MBA , offering you a graduate based role and even graduate grade salary. TIP : Just work with them for one year and then take your SO - sales officer level promotion and take switch with a better hike (you ll easily get a 30% hike, because these people already pay very low salaries than industry standards)...Read More

If you want to ruin your 3-4 years of your career and want to see your friends growing in other companies you sticking here like a jacka$$, stay put here and work with 15-20 years old bosses, No gender equality in hiring patterns too. If you're a female who will be joining this FMCG sales company, beware you have to deal with laaladistributors, 10th grade 3rd party hired salesmen, and egoistic bosses lying around since 15-20 years with ton of ego graved with in themselves. Their training course sucks, HRs are non - efficient, they don't care for you, they are too working here at same posts since 15-20 years. You'll feel its a safe job, they don't fire you but you ll be effing with your career then.... mark my words....Read More

What a pathetic workplace to work after spending huge amount in MBA and then these guys offer peanuts for you. The work is so exaggerating that you cannot bear your peace of mind. Also the managers are like, I seriously don’t understand how this company hires such a ridiculous people in their company. Being in ITC is nothing at all.Managers don’t know how to speak properly at all, every person from top to bottom barbarous language without even thinking for a second. People here don’t pay full salaries to they DS that is salesman and pay less to them without telling their actual salary and use that money for themselves. This is what’s ethics are. Managers say that in this company nothing happens ethically and that’s why this company will never ever change. Please don’t just go by brand....Read More

Only thing good about them is their Brand Identity they have made out their Cigarettes and Hotels business. * SUMMARY * 1. Company hiring MBAs for under-grad based roles, even a BA graduate can work in that role. 2. SALARY STRUCTURE - Salary structure is exploiting. Salaries are literally peanuts, TE - travel expenses compensation are worst in the industry, I mean who pays Rs100 TE for travelling and Rs75 for Food, where fuel rates are Rs100/litre. This becomes Rs300 (travel +food) after you become sales officer, but process to get it passed is still gross. 3. Work profile - work is that of a person who can be called a Salesman, if your parents have paid for your MBA to be salesman and nothing else, join ITC and good luck! 4. Work culture - Bureaucratic work culture. Babu / Saahab / Sirji, these are terms which your managers and super managers devote their seniors with. So, basically you are working for a FMCG company which acts like a government dept in a old traditional bank/PSU organisation. 5. HR working - HR policies are just for paperwork, you won't see a reflection on ground. HR has no role to play, reflect their role to bring harmony and organisational work in this company, HR will do nothing if your manager harass you....Read More

1. WHY ITC IS HIRING ST/SO, AMT , AUTs in bulk every year - They are hiring Tier 2 and Tier 3 MBAs in bulk. Thats good for ITC and not for you, bcs this gives them bargaining power in the jobs market, they fool MBAs in the name of ITC's brand name. Always remember, A HIGH HIRING RATE = A HIGHER ATTRITION RATE. which is not good signfor the work culture of an organisation. 2. SALARY - They are exploiting MBA graduates for under-graduation based roles and salaries, else who hires a MBA and a third party TL/SO/Supervisor at same salary level ? ref: Rs25K pm. Only an exploiting organisation which doesn't cares for your professional growth and an employee who doesn't cares for his/her career trajectory would work at such low level salaries. 3. ASK YOUR CAMPUS TO DENY - If they ever come to your college for Sales Trainee / Sales officer profile hiring, ask your campus recruitment cell for a big no! There is Nestle, Mondelez, HUL/P&G hiring at tad better salaries for same roles, at least you'd be qualified for a salary growth negotiation after working with Nestle and HUL etc. (FYI these companies offer upto 7L pa starting CTC and ITC hires you for 3.7-4L pa) 4. ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY STRUCTURE - At ITC positions are like, Tier 3 : They hire MBAs as Sales trainee, statutorily promote them to Sales officer next year (waste of your time, so keep stuck here), and Then promote them to Area Executive (after 2 yrs of working.) SALES TRAINEE AND SALES OFFICER are profiles added just to cut down company cost, so they can at least get you stuck with them for the next 3 yrs, and at a lower salary than industry by default. Tier 2 : They hire AMT - Area manager trainees from Tier 2 colleges, and put them to handle a team of Area Executives in a defined area of city (usually handled by 14-15 distributors), mind you an AMT - Area Manager handles a less denser area of 3-5 distributors at Nestle and gets paid more than an AM - Area manager at ITC. 5. WORK LIFE BAL. - OVERBUDERNED....Read More

Salary on time, but it is peanuts. their supervisors on 3rd party payroll get Rs28K pm, where as ST gets Rs25K pm. HAVE YOU PAID YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO DO A MBA PROGRAM TO GET RS25PM SALARY. DONT GO TO THEIR PROMISES, ITS AS CRAP AS THEIR WORK.

Dislikes

Work culture, their managers are abusive alot and HR does nothing. HR COMES TO CAMPUS. doesnt tells you about work at all. - 25K pm as STR - Sales trainee. CTC 4.4L , you get 3.7L (this is same since 5-6 yrs) - 27K pm as Sales officer - after 1 year. - 38K pm after Area Executive (giving 2 yrs to this company, you are back to sq. 1 salary which Mondelez, or Nestle gives when you join from campus, lol) Increased salary on Increments reflects in your salary slips and in account from Oct month and not April, So if you're thinking to leave them by May month, you can't. If your campus does brings this company to your college, avoid sitting for this. Telling from a 4 years experience timeline view. There are better startups and brands which can pay you 2X the package these so-called big conglomerates pay, Avoid ITC, Better join a mid-scale company with 6L CTC and switch next year / after gaining good experience from there, you'll easily get 30% hike....Read More

See, They hire freshers from MBA colleges on Grad based salaries cos the role they are offering are grad based too. Send this to any current ITC employee on L!NKEDIN and ask them if this is a lie.
