Reviews Summary

Employees commend the company for its good salaries, incentives, strong infrastructure, job security, and opportunities for learning and development within a disciplined and positive culture. The working environment is generally appreciated, though it may depend on the location.

However, many employees express significant concerns about the lack of work-life balance, noting that late working hours are common. There are reports of inadequate rewards for operational staff despite achieving sales targets, and excessive pressure on lower-level executives. Criticisms also include a negative work culture, poor management, and high employee turnover within teams due to these management issues.
