Optel Group reviews

Shocking Poor Management. The Technical Staff are seen "skill less" drones where there technical ability is judged /rated based on talentless supervisors and managers who are more concerned on how tidy the place looks as opposed to the quality of the Designed solution . The clearest evidence of the uncaring attitude to the "numbers" is that the company will not support an employee in continuing education, they see no value in it hence no interest in employee retention. They skills of the folks building, coding & installing the projects are in high demand by other companies who will poach the best over the coming year. This may suit the managers as they will need to reduce headcount before year end as the demand for projects dries up. But what's really evident now that a "them and us" environment has now developed where trust has completely gone. They (management) decide employees futures behind closed doors in secrecy and the employee will no nothing of it until he/she is informed of what they have decided for them.

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.
