Hindustan Petroleum Graduate Apprentice Trainee salaries in Palakkad

People see you equivalent to an officer in the plant. Salary comes on time.

Dislikes

Top level management tries to cut cost by reducing the manpower and thereby increasing the workload on existing people. Too much work pressure on everyone except the topmost level management.

... (Civil engineering) as I was appointed for Retail upgradation aka Automation. As I worked for the smallest tenure so the salary increments or appraisal wasn't applicable on me, but I have seen other officers who joined at the same time and those incentives were quite good for them. Apart from this, work pressure was there quite a lot, so you can't get out of the office regularly after the working hour, but that wasn't really big problem as the people I worked with were good.

Dislikes

The thing I disliked is that till now there is no scope for the trainee to get hired in the same company for which we have worked for a year.

...okay not ver good not too bad. You have to work 8 hours a day and 5 days a week. You get a good package and other allowances.

Dislikes

Since I was only a Graduate Apprentice Trainee (GAT) and not an officer, there is no job security. There is no policy for absorbing the GAT after one year completion which is very disappointing. As I was working just like an officer having good amount of knowledge and contacts with various dealers and vendors for the smooth execution of even difficult works but at the end of a year I was out. Just one basic thing I don't understand is that how a company could let go one of his trained person who is handing a particular work and is doing great in it, instead taking new guys who comes through GATE having no knowledge or experience.

Friendly colleagues, didn't experience any 'Bossing' from my seniors. My senior gave me opportunity to learn many things, gave responsibilities and gave freedom to take decisions.

Dislikes

...inee, but had to work in shifts, handled works which we were not supposed to do. And even worked on Sundays, overtime during audits with no extra pay. These were clear violations of Apprentice act,1961 under which I was recruited. Only reason I agreed and obeyed the orders of the Manager was becoz he was the one who was to prepare our progress report quarterly. I was expecting to get good remarks so that I might get employment opportunity in the organisation. But this training was a useless one, where I didn't get job in the same organisation or any other. Many times I saw notes in Vacancy ads mentioned as 'Apprenticeship will not be considered as Experience'. Hence I became "Skilled Unemployed". Thanks to Ministry of Skill Development, Skill India Mission.

...gement is transparent. There is a huge cafeteria and gaming arcade for chilling. Company policies are good, appraisals are fair and they give good salary hike and bonus every year.

Dislikes

There is a lot of politics & the management doesn't address our issues. Salary is decent but career growth is slow.there is a bond of 1 years before which you cannot resign.on the job training is not given to new joinees.
