Pros

If you want to travel to Quebec this is the ticket.

Cons

Unless you’re based in Quebec your contributions will be ignored. The decision Center is there and outside influence is aggressively resisted.

Greenwashing!! Vapourware!! If I knew about that, I would have took the $80M that I have invested in our ESG program for my personal benefits: buy big cars, big houses.. participate to the destruction of our world by over consuming.. I would eat delicious steaks instead of tofu!! I would throw away broken materials instead of trying to repair them.. I could party all the time instead of taking care of my kids. I agree we are not saving the world as fast as I would like, but I am trying as much as I can in my personal and professional live to do it. Sorry if it is not enough.. I wake up every morning with eco-anxiety that only actions can cure... Now what are you doing on your side? It is easy to write text like this on glassdoor, you must be proud after that! How much sacrifice have you done? How much money have your given to address the existential threats for your children? How much judgment have you faced by expressing your opinion on climate change and your value to build a better world? How much discomfort are you ready to face by going in a direction that most of the population don't align with? Sorry, I just don't know what more I can do..

Pros

Market share in North America for line equipment

Cons

Narcissistic CEO who only surrounds himself with yes people. The entire North American sales team left as a whole - Every leader has left the company Not sure how long Optel can stay afloat. The outright lie from leadership is that they care about the people, this could not be further from the truth, the only thing that matters is the ego of the CEO. The next big lie is the commitment to a B Corp, nothing more than marketing, the CEO does not want to save the earth he only cares about himself.

It could seen like this. I am the owner and CEO of OPTEL. From the inception of OPTEL I made a promess to the children of the world to contribute as much as I can to build a sustainable world for them. So I decided that all profit from OPTEL will be dedicated to this mission, not a dime for me. This is my decision and my way of life, feel free to disagree and judge me as you wish. Some people deserted OPTEL in US when we prioritized Climate Changes/Natural Resources and that we will redirect most of our investment toward this. When environmental protection get political, this is the type of reaction you expect. It is sad to see that polarization in US. NOTE: I will sell the asset when I will loose all hope in Humanity.
