Pros

There's a lot of people here with good intentions. We all want to help companies improve their culture and stay compliant. But we're stuck when it comes to bad employers.

Cons

We all talk to each other, so we know what really going on. We've watched companies steal from their employees and then we basically give the company step-by-step instructions on how to get rid of the person who made the complaint. It's all very passive, "oh-no you can't fire them, only layoffs or eliminating their department or position is legal". We talk to managers about complaints filed against them in a "helpful" way that definitely outs the person who made the complaint. We've watched business owners quietly laugh in the background of an employees termination. They were harassed by vendor, but of course this termination is completely unrelated. We help continue everything that is wrong with work culture. While I understand there are a lot of good intentions, the whole unbiased approach means we actively turn a blind-eye to everything that is wrong in the workforce.

Optima Office Response

This is one of the most bizarre reviews we have ever recieved. It really doesn't make a whole lot of sense and we have been known to terminate client relationships if they don't respect and treat our team well. If we terminated you, there was probably good cause. Since we rarely receive a negative review, "hunting" down someone who gave us a bad review is not possible. How would we even know who left the review? We simply add an employer comment in response to any negative review. We wish you well regardless.
