Red FM 93.5 Accounts Manager Reviews

Likes

It is a good brand from consumer point of view. It is popular and people pay attention to it because of suffix FM after the name. Puts you in limelight if you tell some one within your social circle that you work for Red FM. As a media company it is one of the oldest in this domain along with few others. Not much career growth as a sales executive because there is nothing much to learn. You only have to sell time slots to existing clients. Most of the market is already covered by existing and old employees who are there from more than 10 years. Lots of politics. Attrition rate is highest. 25-30 people highered and they left in a span of 2 years. Product is quite simple so you will not have the scope to be innovative and creative in sales. Radio is simple tool for branding and is a support medium for any advertiser. They don’t give appraisals easily and management starts taunting and threatening you if you are doing good. They will tell that the revenue which you are bringing is coming because of the companies brand name and you have done zero efforts. The older employees and sales head are very cunning and will never appreciate your efforts. They try to keep the new employee on toes so that he/she just keeps buttering them and become their sidekicks....Read More

Lots of politics. New employees are misguided and demotivated by old employees specially in sales department. Lala type organisation. Despite doing good i was being targeted for lame reasons and was given an offer after 1 year that either take confirmation letter or appraisal we can not give you both. No learning at all, it’s a simple product all you have to do is cold calling on random shops in streets, markets like a hawker otherwise you will be fired. No roadmap or framework to work. No guidance and support from seniors. No professionalism. Lots of ego and attitude in old employees as if Red Fm is owned and created by them. They treat every employee as a threat to their dominance, will team up against new employee and try to make sure he makes as many mistakes as possible and gets out of the company as soon as possible. Full of backstabers and unprofessional people. HR has no say at all. They are just 2 dolls sitting all day on their systems updating status on social media. Marketing people are snobbish and closed. Don’t expect to have any interaction with other departments as well....Read More

Monotonous and boring. You will not be allowed to sit in office after 11 am if you are in sales, even if you have important campaign to make live or send a proposal. Laptops are not provided, you have to work from desktops.

Dislikes

There was no proper induction from HR side so it was very difficult for me to understand the company policy is and other things like incentive structure and everything I have taken 2 months to understand the incentive structure because it was very complex it was not just one parameter that you will get an incentive if you achieve the target no it was not like that there were number of parameters involved. I wish if they could have given me more or training sessions or proper induction programs so I would have understand the policies and everything in a better way... but took two three months to understand everything by own.....Read More
