Pros

Great colleagues and honest coworkers. The CEO Mr. King has a great vision and wants to do what's best for the company and its clients. There is not a single negative thing I can say about this man because I have a lot of respect for him and his mission.

Cons

The company does not value case managers as much as they should. Unfortunately management refuses to acknowledge the major issues at hand and instead blame their employees for their bad decisions. We had to watch a video a few months ago explaining why millennials were entitled brats to teach us a valuable lesson - keep your mouth shut and stop complaining or suffer the consequences. It's too bad because there were a lot of dedicated hard working employees that I had the pleasure of working with who had a lot to offer. Their great ideas were often ignored/dismissed and instead of working together with management it felt like we were always on opposing teams. I am 100000% sure they have no problem firing the entire department to replace everyone with new hires and am glad I left before it got worse. Also, can someone explain why there are there a bunch of kids with no experience running the departments? I don't think they understand what micromanaging means because we're all treated like 5 years old. They will write you up a lot because they have no viable solutions. Beware of this department!

Pros

Supportive team members, structured training, and opportunities to develop administrative and payment processing skills. Clear expectations and a professional work environment helped me stay organized and productive.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and performance expectations may feel demanding. Some processes change frequently, which can require employees to adapt quickly.

Pros

Flexible for the most part (for now) Happy that there are less agents. i just hope they don't over hire once or if it gets busier. Hope there are improvements and environment gets better like the old Optima days.

Cons

-Not much culture left. -Taken away bonuses. keeps getting worse and more strict rules and changes. -Wish they would have a rule where employees who drive far have more opportunity to work from home again. I personally do better and wouldn't have to waste so much time on the road in traffic. i can spend more time with family and I could be working more if anything.... As long as the money is still decent during slow times and I'm not going into my savings. Then we're good. I hope it gets busy again and they don't over hire once it does.... -Servicing/back-end needs to do better work. Us sales agent's and company lose A LOT of money due to this. Has been giving our company a bad name/brand. We are not the only company out there anymore. there's a lot of competition. Hopefully they listen to their employees since we also deal with the back lash from the back end complaints. Not cool for our clients to spend a lot of money and be ignored afterwards.
