Pros

Fantastic people with spectacular personalities that sparkle despite the treatment they are receiving.

Cons

We are being lied to constantly. Optel Limerick are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of every employee. They are currently performing a review of all employees salaries to bring them up to industry standards for each employees position. Sounds great, unfortunately they are using this to disguise the plan to NOT pay employees their yearly pay increase. This increase is in two parts, inflation and performance. Optel will not tell employees, when they receive their revised salary, what part is new salary scale or what part is their performance increase or even their inflation rise. The reason they won't tell us is that they are hiding the fact that we are not getting our correct pay rise. Several employees have already been given their revised salary with an increase of €0.00. This figure includes the yearly bonus which means they have not received their normal yearly bonus as promised. I would not recommend Optel to potential employees.

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..
