Pros

Quick Appraisals (if you perform), Lots of Learning if you are a fresher, that's it !

Cons

Terrible working environment, no regard what-so-ever for employees or their benefits, naukar-malik system still exists here, if you're a girl with a pretty face chances are you'll get paid more even if you're IQ matches Rahul Gandhi & associates, no structure or hierarchy of any manner. Politics of such high levels which would entice even Arvind Kejriwal to think about joining the company, I've seen many people loosing their salaries (or being put on hold for months together), more people join and leave the company than total number of people boarding a Virar fast daily, management is only concerned about their objeoctives, HR is as dumb as a flower pot..... I can probably write a book about my negative experiences here....the company is regarded as a total CHEAT by its customers ! The company because of its dishonest dealings and crook like behaviour is bound to go down if nothing more than it. Ohh, had to write this; extreme sales pressure but no incentives or travel (NA if youre a pretty girl) or anything to pump you up. Its just a ruckus of many people fighting over accounts ! Your hard-work, sincerity and dedication has no place, if you can not apple polish the management. During the days of events, you would be made to work for 24-30 hours straight with no over-time or comp-off (comp-off is as Alien to them as Saturn's 7th moon is to me). If you are 35 or something and are worried about fast-loosing (receding) hair line, fear not once you join this company. You would loose your salary faster than you loosing your hair ! They deduct your salary for every trivial reason, you got late by a minute for 3 days in a month (that's 3 minutes in a month) and you loose your day's pay. You can not eat for more than 30 minutes with no tea-coffee breaks in between ! And how can I forget to write about the Employer- Laborer relationship, the management can wear shoes in the office but we can't Maybe they think that only they ride around Mumbai in a BM..... ! Genuine Advice straight from the heart: Please stay clear of this company !

Pros

Their star exhibition is backed by the biggest media house in India, so the brand you are selling has immense value in the market. It is successful and the best exhibition in the industry for the South east Asia region.

Cons

Very high attrition rate. Too much internal conflicts and politics between colleagues and regional offices. No trust among employees. Senior management does not have any faith or patience for new recruits. Reimbursements take months. Travelling allowance is extremely poor. No benefits. No respect. Constant spying on employees. Unnecessary protocol for regional offices to report to Head office. Emails keep going back and forth for weeks before necessary action is taken. HR dept is not responsive to employee requests and needs. Odd hours. No incentives for over time. National holidays are avoided. One is forced to work for a different profile (event production) when hired for sales. No answers are given when asked. And most importantly threats to employees to block salaries until further notice because senior management is not impressed with the work done.

Pros

I don't even have 20 good words to write anything good. Yes the location of the office is nice

Cons

The word selfish is the synonym for the owner Gandhi. I worked their full time in delhi office but could not survive even 2 months even after putting in hard work you will never be appreciated. HR, Administration , IT. All have a very indifferent approach towards the sales team . best part they don't release your salary only sighting the most illogical reasons. It's a glamour office , suits ,ties ,nice shiny Oxfords but from the inside way too shallow. my advice never join the company.
