Pros

I have been working for Optima for more than a year now. Great place to work, with great benefits. Managements are the best as they care about their employees. They do promote within and will award those that are working hard. I wish I had joined Optima long time ago. What I like most about Optima is that they really care about their clients and client come first and that they really care about quality of the work and providing the highest qualify of service for all their clients.

Cons

there are no Cons in my opinion.

Pros

-company culture -can get promoted easily if you work hard and get noticed, looks good on resume to be promoted in a short amount of time

Cons

-pay is definitely below market value. -Sales gets overpaid and everyone else has to deal with their mess. After the tax associates make the sale for the first resolution payment, they no longer have no obligation to help the client. They sell the clients on a huge reduction and false hopes and in return that is not the outcome for 80-90% of our clients. They then are upset and are unable to pay their high fees and case managers, customer service, tax preparers have to deal with these irate customers because they are led to believe one thing and are presented something else. -some higher uppers or management are inadequate and only there due to seniority. they are not fit to lead.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, friendly co workers, some friendly managers,

Cons

People were promoted who were liked by management, a lot of favoritism, people were also promoted who knew the management for many years and if you were there from the beginning when they opened up as OTR they were placed into management positions. One team lead in particular was rude to everyone and she had so many complaints on how she treated people nothing was done from HR about her because she was a FAVORITE and she was able to get away with it because she was liked by one manager in particular. Revolving door is was it is now ...
