This company just plays with the life of employees, there is no sense of happiness when you work here. High level of politics happen at the management level at each store and when they feel some employee is brutally loyal, honest or hardworking they ensure that person is no longer working with metro in next 2-3 months . They will target him and defame him and the employee will mentally jus break down and leave for greener pastures.

Dislikes

...actually work in a day because of which new candidates leave without any notice. Also now people in the market refuse to work for Metro because of the salary being given in hand which is 8600/- without any pf or esi where as other companies like big Bazar, reliance, dmart pay better than that to fresher's. In the name of cost cutting they make employees lives miserable.
