Dear Former Employee, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the pros/cons on your time at OTR. I am glad that you felt that they pay/benefits/perks met your expectations in your short time with us. Also, I will take your feedback on favoritism and modeling behavior of our management as a way to improve. It is rare that we have a complaint about our culture so we will use this as motivation to continue to direct our focus in this area. I hope that you found a company that is more suited for your career and thank you for your brief time with us. Best, David King - CEO

Pros

CEO is a great dude that’s about it. Can’t say the same about the company. Only other pro would be the befits. The benefits were the only big perk about this job in regards to medical and dental.

Cons

This place is extremely micromanaged! You have to sit on camera all day through Microsoft Teams, while you are working both in office and while at home. If your camera is not on your management team, ask you why isn’t your camera on, or please turn on your camera. The company swears it’s to get you to interact with your teams, and make it feel like you guys are together. And supposedly, to collaborate with the team; but in reality, that’s not it! Your manager just wants to sit there and watch you all day through camera and make sure you are working. It’s extremely awkward having others look at you on camera for 8 hours. Oh, and if you are not on camera you’ll get written up. This company has been through 4 layoffs in just little over a year. Which says a lot. They constantly blame the IRS saying that there isn’t any IRS enforcement happening. Reality is, this company is going broke. Because they are being sued. They can’t afford to even pay their employees a living wage. Mostly all the reps there make about $15.50-17 unless of course you’re higher up like a manager. Even leads don’t make enough raging from $18-19 only. Sure, some positions are commission based but I can assure you that making 35-55k isn’t anything. The attorney there has made a rude remark at a company offsite meeting saying, “I’m not jealous of your jobs.” Knowing half the people that work there barley make anything. I really feel he should take a look back at what he said.
