Pros

I have started my Career as GET with KONE at one of the office in Chennai at 2011. And i have worked around 5 yrs with this company. Pros i would say as a GET salary package is more than average and a fixed decent hike during the second year (probation period). Pickup and Drop facility, Breakfast and lunch facility....

Cons

Cons i will start from salary - After completion of the probation period employee salary will be revised based on the performance. But the salary hike will is very low...... - Work culture will not be like a office or MNC. Literally speaking it will be like a School... - No work and personal life balance. It is very hard to get even permission for an hour.. - There will not be any general respect from superiors. - Etc., I would suggest if you get any opportunity to join this company as GET use it and sincerely look for a job change.. If you are an experienced candidate please ignore this opportunity...

Pros

An hour lunch and nice work colleagues

Cons

Tracy Williamson-Graff is a terrible manager at the Keighley branch, next to no training is offered but when you're struggling with something you get shouted at. Mental health issues due to the job completely swept under the table, constantly crying at my desk with the workload giving and no training. The favourites in the team had less work to do while others had too much. Glad I walked out as was being treated very unfairly and can't believe was asked "what's wrong then?" when I told her I was struggling. Also only a temporary contract for 2 years or longer on minimum wage, with little to no room for progress in the company. They pay pennies and expect the world from you
