Dislikes

1.) Apart from academics, there was a lot of pressure on the faculties for student conversion. We had to call the passing out (12th class) and dropper students, and beg them for rejoining. This deteriorated the brand name a lot, as lot of parents became abusive during the calls 2.) During the leaves the Academic Heads, under the instruction of Assistant Directors made sure that the faculties took the classes on time. The faculties didn't get mental peace for a single day even though they were on leave 3.) The bigger the organization, the rarer are the quality employees. The same goes with Aakash Institute, the center runs on goodwill rather than good academics. Maximum power has been vested with AHs, ADs , SADs and RDs, who as far as I interacted only got those positions as they felt themselves weak at academics. All the academic decisions took by them had little strength and no vision at all. I saw the heads shouting at the faculties for getting average results. Rather than telling them how things could have been improved, all I saw was shouting, shouting and shouting(Though no one ever shouted at me, I felt bad for other people). It was the major reason I decided to leave as I wanted career growth, and how could clueless people give me an idea how to get a career growth. According to them career growth only meant getting a management position in Aakash 4.) The course duration for the courses was very less(every course) and hence it was very very difficult to teach with love and passion. All the time the faculty thinks of how to complete a course real fast. Such pressure always compromises with the quality of the delivery. A faculty has to deal with a lot of batches, and he practically cant improve the scores of a single batch as time is less 5.) For leaves everyone had to fight out, maximum employees had almost all the leaves saved in their piggybank as leaves weren't approved easily 6.) Hard fact, but most employees were living away from their families.(End)

Dislikes

Bad work environment reason: (1)working on SIP forcefully, (2)per day change in rules for travel and other reimbursements just to mentally disturb employees so that they quit and don't apply reimbursement, (3)overtime work forcefully with no extra pay, unplanned classes which harass faculties, Faculties are forced by DD, AD and AH to give students admission test to provide them maximum scholarship just to increase maximum number of admissions which later on affects teacher to fulfill the target result, (4) Less increment in salary (5) Unnecessary transfer any time even in the mid session just to downgrade ratings to kick out of company (6)In some centres, AH don't let you know about your feedback and ratings just to let you unaware of it if they are wishing to see you jobless or they are instructed by AD or DD to throw you out of the company so that it seems legal and ethical. (7) Job insecurity is the major reason here, when they need you, they will make you work for more than 12 hrs but when they start cost cutting, they will definitely find a way to terminate you even without paying you notice period salary or providing notice period. (8) Worst thing is their "Student First" concept which is applicable for any type of uncultured, unmannered and disturbing students. They can terminate you even just to hold one such type of students reason being these type of students of pay full fees. Conclusion is that at Aakash, a student who pay fee is more respectable than a teacher who has high knowledge and experience with even IITs degree. (9) In some centres there is a discrimination between JEE and NEET. This affects teachers value at centre. (10) The strict punch in and punch out system is very uncomfortable for employees. There should be a system like PW which uses Darwinbox and employees come and complete 9 hrs as per their work schedule and comfort.
