Associated Transport Organisation Deputy Manager Legal salaries in India

Likes

...ice is in good location in Sector V. Very modern office with modern interiors. I am paid both PF and ESI and salary given in first week of each month. Work hours are good. Company has corporate culture and no politics. I am directly reporting to management.

Dislikes

There is no privacy as it is open office and all desks are open. So my computer is completely visible. There is no separate cafeteria to eat food so I have to eat lunch at my desk. I did not like the lady Legal Manager I was reporting to before because of her attitude. She was very negative towards the company also and would shout. But she is now leaving the company so I am happy. The New Legal Manager who has come in her place is much better. Directors of the company are very busy most days, so I mostly report to the Legal Manager only.

There is nothing to like about working at this company except the fact that you'll get your salary by 5th of each month. Block GP is a very decent area. It's where the office is situated. There are two really good eateries nearby - Kareem's and Opium.

Dislikes

Anybody can be hired or fired at any time. The top brass, except one, is exceptionally whimsical, you'll be asked to do things that is not of your department and knowledge of which will never be of any help to you. The directors often will make you do their personal work, like get some documents, pay their due bills, sort their issues with their housemaids, etc. People keep their job and get hikes through internal politics. They hire and fire based on who knows who. A PA will suddenly be turned into a receptionist. When you ask for reimbursement of your expenses, they'll behave like they're doing you a favour. All of these making it evident that the company is on a download spiralling phase, which is true.

1. salary is always on time. 2. company has lots of legal cases so we gain lot of experience. 3. company believes in no-nonsense culture so anyone who is trying to play the fool is thrown out.

Dislikes

Company should make new legal employees better understand background of their cases. Wish there was more documentation about the history of the cases. Operations team is slow in taking out new documents and sharing with legal team.

...can have a comfortable life at home. Saturdays are half days till 3:30pm only. Salary comes by first week of the month. Office is clean and nice.

Dislikes

There is nobody to guide us and show each step. We are only given targets and expected to perform. Luckily I had some seniors who were willing to help me. Sometimes we are sent to do errands of other group companies of the MD that is not related to our key expertise.

On time salary. I am reporting directly to MD so no office politics. I can directly complain to MD if I have any problem. Flat structure. Only 2 people in legal team full time along with some legal clerks. So not too small and not too big a team.

Dislikes

I have to travel to court everyday for work. Even if court is on holiday I am still required to travel to court. I also have to return back to the corporate office in PS Srijan Corporate Park same day and give the report. Work is good. Probably better than what my peers have to go through in other companies. The person before me here was asked to resign because she had attitude problems and was under performing. Hence now she is creating a bad name for the company and writing false reviews. I think in Bengal finding another legal job is hard hence they are acting like this. One thing I would ask the company to work on is making it easier to file travel reports. I wish there was a separate desk apart from HR who would pass the conveyance bills.
