Pros

Positive work environment. Decent bonuses. Work and family balance is somewhat encouraged. Nice progressist values (environment, health, etc.) Great involvment in community. Lots of activities offered. Work can be challenging and innovative at times.

Cons

The company grew too fast which led to growing pains. Employees are not trained properly and can find themselves not knowing how things work. Documentation is sparse if at all existing and processes are changing all to time. The company has a hard time focusing on a single priority, and priorities are constantly changing (even in the course of a single day!). Lots of time wasted in task switching. Communication between departments is lacking. Nobody in the middle management seems to be willing to make tough decisions.

Optel Group Response

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. In fact, I don't run the company, it is operated by a strong VP and directors level. I am a visionary, not an operator, but I can get hand's on for a while as I am great in finding solutions. Never hire me as a General Manager !! After 35 years leading OPTEL, I know my strength and weakness. To explain the up-down, see answer to other comments... I am very strong and confident on the vision I build.. that what drive me every morning, that why I have invested over $80M in preparing the future that is kicking off now! I love what I do and I love the team I am working with. Let's go, work together to achieve great things.. and accept to fail from time to time..
