...l Rules/regulations and values set by the organisation are really praise worthy. Good initial salary package. You will learn communication skills and build confidence but not much technical skills though.

Dislikes

The management staff doesn't really follow what has been preached. You will be verbally harassed for not meeting targets, i have seen senior make fun of people based on their looks. According to the company's rules miss selling is a taboo but managers will force you to sell products by hook or crook to meet targets. You will be made to work extra long hours instead of the promised actual time. if it's a big branch with more competation and god forbid if the competition gets good business, you will be chewed up by your senior's on a private call. My friend was in tears when he got shouted on for not being able to get business and it was only his first month. Overall the framework of the company is nice but whether you will enjoy your work life or not depends on the kind of superiors you get.
