Appraisals are fair and they give good salary hike and bonus every year.

Dislikes

No job security, they can fire you without any proper reason, lot of politics, bad working environment, you have to work 8 am to 8 pm or even more. Managements are not transparent. My manager take credit of my work. Overall terrible experience.

... (to run a plant) at very early stage in your career( straight out of college). The compensation offered by Zinc is good for a fresher. The field exposure and team management skills will be developed very soon at Zinc.

Dislikes

1.Training of GETs to be enhanced. 2.Entertainment facilities near plant location could be better.( Of course mining occurs out of City) 3.Allotment of GETs to plant location should be made by Technical people and not by HR. Kindly don't fill based on man power unavailability. Please confirm with technical before alloting people. 4.Plants should have separate Technical services team and not overload the Shift Engineers.

The company is good to start with. In initial years you will learn everything at ground level, which provides good amount of exposure.

Dislikes

Compensation is decent but work pressure is high. Since it is a manufacturing company, health and safety of the workers and employees are sometimes at stake.

Dislikes

... the review below.No action against poor manager feedback, just for namesake. 2.) Poor HR appraisal policies, majority needs to get C grades which repurcates into minimal increments,barely any annual bonus & in HZL salary structure that could mean an amount almost 30-50% of fixed salary, No new esops , not to mention previous esops become void too... 3.) Lot of incentives ,over & above salary but only selected favored get all the extra favours ,all the time.Rampant nepotism & favouritism.People at the same designation level may have upto 200% difference in salaries or earnings. 4.)Too much of paperwork & ppt's with too less people in department, overloads & distracts everyone.Mostly in name of safety, but nobody accepts or follows practical approach. 5.)No experienced person left in the middle hierarchy ( 8-10 yrs) to share workload now..One needs to cater to work from the shift incharge level to the needs & demand at the business head level. No aftermarket recruitment in yhis range..just GETs, everytime who get the feel of this culture & leave in a year. 6.)Zero job security, Poor mutual respect & missing trust in the culture.If you age beyond 40 , no incentives,then probably better to leave this company or be prepared to get sudden forced retirements or serve below your juniors.Thought process from the top is with increased stability , people dont perform.Probably the only company where retention is not promoted & experience negates your intrinsic value. All in all, Due to such trust, respect & stability deficient culture even none of the employees have a single good opinion of the company & hence not at all a company worthy to stay for long, It will spoil your outlook mindset of mutual trust & cooperation ending up in continuous stress which will surely manifest into getting medical issues or low self esteem here for sure. In recent years,it Doesnt feel like an organisation or industry, instead like earn per day sort of a private business.

Dislikes

Office politics. Low grades. Toxic work culture. No care for employees or support from HR. Managers distribute good grades and perks among themselves, it never to reaches to them who work at site. HR never visits site, they do only compliances. No training. Extremely less manpower. 8 hrs shift but you are expected to overstay, take all the responsibilities still get bad grades. Union is very powerful, workers don't want to work and they fight, blackmail employees on silly things, mangers don't support, because they are scared too. Extremely less employees, one mechanical employee takes work permit around 5-20 per day. Off course, he can't supervise that much jobs together, if any fatality happens, employees are there to go to jail. Seems like company has no ethics at all. No responsibility. Company does heavy metal testing of employees every three months (lead cadmium) but never shares any report. Employees can't protest at anything, they will be terminated.
