Pros

People , who unfortunately and rightfully so are moving out for better career opportunities.

Cons

Top Management has zero clarity on what needs to be done. Board meetings are all about humiliating people than finding real solutions. Strategy and People building which were the key pillars during Mr Bakshi regime are now replaced by sycophancy. Hiring and firing seems to be the new strategy - where people who understood business are either fired or have left on their own. It's like Metro is the new MD playground and he sure is having fun. With no clarity and guidance from the top management which drips down to the middle management as well and leaves no will/ interest for people to look forward to work. Despite so much change in the top management there's no radical change that has come to the company and if this remains the same-there will be many more ludhianas to witness. Metro used to be a great place to work at where ideas were discussed and detailed planning was done which today under the farce of execution have dwindled to nothing. God bless metro for it used to be a great company!

Pros

You get to know about the wholesale industry and how B2B works

Cons

This is a review for manager and above level employees in their Head Office in Yeshwantpur. Completely dominated by North Indians in top management and they bully other region employees a lot. There are some departments which are working as separate entities. Its like a cartel of their own. HR is helpless. Too much of employee unfairness in every aspect if you dont be obedient to them. Just sucks. Avoid this company if you are not used to bullying and hate racism and serious about your career.

Pros

Excellent work culture with strong focus on results delivered the right way. All old sins of the past have been tackled head-on by current management. So a lot of old timers who were cheating the company are either complaining as their dirty game is up or have been asked to leave the company.

Cons

Pressure to perform as the company is focused on driving profitable sales. Easy low margin sales are discouraged by management.
