ITC Area Executive Reviews

Likes

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
