Working at Zinc buisness is good as salary compared to market is good, company is having good profit. It is cash rich company however culture is pathetic.

Dislikes

Organization needs to more focus on buisness and skills development. All things are done with respect to branding but nothing concrete. Employee are demotivated. 1 out of 3 want to change the company. All employer surveys are not showing actual issues with company culture.

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.

Salary on time

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.

There are no likes. It’s just decent salary at the cost of your health.

Dislikes

Everything!! Long working hours…overtime. 6 day work week… No great skill develops Highly abusive and aggressive culture. Manager screams badly and uses abusive words. Very very difficult to choose workplace of ur choice. Unhygienic food and poor drinking water across plant and living quarters. Even basic requirements for survival aren’t that good. You can see rats near the canteen. Very dirty washroom in plants. Life is like a Hell here!!!

Tbh, as far as job security is concerned this is the best place to work out there. Salary & other benefits are really great. As Appreciation is missing in here, so morale gets down even after giving 100%.

Dislikes

Appreciation is missing, seniority complex is high that could really take a mental toll in here. And also would put you out in a irritated mood most of the time
