Pros

work from home, office location

Cons

poor management and customer service, hysteric supervisor The company believes that their clients are frustrated because they got letters from the IRS, but this is mostly caused by the long waiting period and poor service management. They let clients to pay interest and penalty because they do not complete tax returns by the due date. The department managers rarely help the employees and their conflicts, and the supervisors push most of their work towards their employees and are late on their own work. One client was upset because she was waiting for 6 months to finish only one tax return, Which was caused by a reviewer who forgot to fix my mistake, but all the blame was once again placed on me. The supervisors leaves the clients complaints with us to deal with the mess they caused.

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.
