Pros

No Drug testing involved to get the job. Occasional free lunch. A great coffee machine. It's at a good location for me to arrive. Free office supplies when needed because im a cheepo. The health insurance provided is decent. People are friendly and willing to help.

Cons

hassling people to get their paperwork done. The whole process is not easy for the client. They have to be compliant and complete their homework with us. It isn't a simple one, two , three process. Some clients take over 2 years to complete their case. Case Managers, support, and everyone in different departments have our work very disorganized. Lack of communication between departments and clients make the process very confusing. Pay is also low! I wish the pay here was higher. Once those tax dollars come out of the paycheck, it sure looks thin. Probationary period also sucks. Quota to reach is manageable, but you really have to give up quality of service to our clients in order to maintain or quota quantity (it's impossible otherwise).

Pros

I have definitely gained a lot of knowledge while working here. Great and fun culture. Constant fun activities. Occasional free lunches. Management listens to feedback and actually addresses feedback.

Cons

Promotions don't come with a raise and the attendance policy could be better but over all good place to work at.

Pros

Optima is a special workplace that prioritizes staff development and engagement. There are so many recognition, learning and development programs going on which gives real opportunity to advance one's career goals. There are also many events (lunches, contests, offsite parties, health & wellness activites) which allow staff to get to know each other and builds an awesome camaraderie!

Cons

The work we do at Optima has a huge impact on our clients, and this can be stressful at times - it comes with the territory.
