Pros

Most of the (little) people are good to work with. Can gain some experience in the process while you are seeking another employment opportunity. That's about it.

Cons

Starting from the top, CEO does NOT make you feel appreciated and talks down to you regardless of who is around. Hours are 8:30-5:30 but you ALWAYS work late and are looked down at if you leave "on time". The pay is horrible for the amount of work and stress they provide and its salary so do NOT expect to be compensated for extra hours worked, which you will! Projects are also being changed at the last minute with the deadline right around the corner and no time to submit the change. Also, almost 90% of the employees, Spanish is their first language so if you are an English speaker be prepared to do a lot of the translating/corrections to others work as well as doing your own.

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns. We value our employees and on behalf of Optime’s management I apologize if that was not expressed more often. In fact, we have made it a priority to reward and recognize those employees that have gone above and beyond and helped others along the way. As a majority of our clients are based in Latin America, we have always had the need for more bilingual speakers. Our recent and unprecedented growth to the US and Canadian Market has opened the door for more opportunities and we now have people on the team who are native English speakers. We encourage our team to leave on time and join all the fitness activities and clubs that we have established after work. We also guarantee a competitive salary and compensation with benefits including a 401K Plan, maternity leave, Medical/Dental/Vision Insurance, gym membership, and trainings. Through our work with ADP we have ensured that we are on par in regards to pay scale with the industry average. We want our employees to grow within our company and have invested in higher educational third party advisors, platforms & Universities so that they can grow their skill sets. Thank you for taking the time to communicate this, your feedback is helping us build an even better Optime. - Maria Merce Martin, CEO

Pros

Optime Consulting provides a creative work atmosphere with modern projects, diverse clientele, and a strong focus on teamwork and professional development. Workers gain from being exposed to innovative solutions, chances for constant growth, and a culture that values teamwork and support.

Cons

The only little thing about my working position is that sometimes you can have rigorous workloads, due to the pressure of having a tight timeline of 30 days that our users expect their prizes to arrive, but as we all know it is something very common that you will find in every other job.
