Pros

Less office politics, can balance work-life easily

Cons

Family run business by frustrated owner who is obsessed with controlling everybody and everything. Not really a company in that sense, more a way for her and her family to pass time. A real career-limiting place with limited growth options, learning opportunities or exposure. People may join thinking its a global company, but the only people who stay there over two years are people who are have no option, limited education or qualifications.

It seems we have not been able to win your heart! As a public listed company on the Bombay Stock Exchange, Walchand PeopleFirst, the employer in this instance, is led by a very imminent Board, largely consisting of independent directors. The Chairperson has helped to implement Alan Mullaly’s Business Plan Review Process in the company. As such, the strategic and annual operating plan of the organisation is developed jointly by a team of cross-functional leaders. This team meets weekly to review the program on the plan and takes business decisions collectively to drive towards achieving our goals. Several of our team members tell us that this organisation offers a unique experience of a global company work opportunity blended with the family feeling of a smaller organisation, where each and every employee is personally known by name at the top level of management. Employees receive opportunities to travel, network and collaborate with the global Dale Carnegie network, providing diverse work opportunities, including representing India at annual international conventions and delivering global mandates.

Pros

1. If you are a trainer then one of the better places to work for as most of the training space is pretty unorganised 2. As a trainer its good to have a brand name on the resume. 3. SJ as the emotional anchor for the firm 4. WPL is the best and it keeps engagement alive

Cons

1. Training curriculum needs updation 2. Very erratic training schedules.lots of last minute allocation. Living out of a suitcase literaly. 3. No work life balance... 4. The Trainer world is only about scores. there is no proper audit of work so only people with high scores are appreciated. The efforts put in are not seen. 5. Management is pretty judgemental and once they form an opinion it sticks for life. 6. Our management is a White paper warrior who talks big about employee work life balance, empathy, empowerment etc but refuse to implement it. 7. No job security..you will get a call in the evening, DJ calling.. and thats it career over 8. Leadership is pathetic esp at the AVP level and the Fin leader level, no ounce of empathy and yes very vindictive. You will be reprimanded but never recognised

Thank you for posting your review and the appreciation of trainer standards as well as our organisation-wide employee engagement program, WPL, which has helped improve our engagement scores overall . We are delighted to share that since the last quarter our senior trainer team has been engaged with the global product development team to refresh our core curricula. We are introducing a new Sales program next month and our top trainer is flying to New York to co-pilot the launch of a brand new Leadership program in August. Our trainers have helped develop new content and programs and are finding a lot of global support too. We take your feedback on work-life balance and have expanded our trainer team recently, keeping pace with our growing business.
