IT management give priority only to their family members and while hiring they provide big package to only their family members and while appraisal also they only recognise their family members with super hike. The IT management will not recognise self-made employee work and they will not provide proper hike also.

There are many things which I personally dislike with apollo, Every month sale pressure was increasing, whatever extra curricular activities, we have to perform extra duty hours like if a manager, dgm or anyone is visiting the store prior to that for more than 2 to 3 days we have to perform extra duty hours like our duty was 9 hours but we had to work 12 hours and even some days we have worked 13 hours also, there are still many things...but i don't want to share those...let it be
