Pros

There is great sense of Teamwork with the Technical teams on the Production Floor. People will share their knowledge and help others without hesitation.

Cons

Most Of The local management have little to no idea of what exactly is built and shipped to customers.The majority of Team leads who think their Managers have zero experience in people management .They have an update meeting in the morning and then sit at their desks for the remainder of the day.If their is a quality issue the immediately look for a head to blame even though it's also their responsibility to ensure a quality project is built. The so called leaders would never support their immediate reports and are more focussed on how they are perceived by the bosses in Canada..HR don't want to know or hear from you once they have convinced you to join the company.

Optel Group Response

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it. In fact, I don't run the company, it is operated by a strong VP and directors level. I am a visionary, not an operator, but I can get hand's on for a while as I am great in finding solutions. Never hire me as a General Manager !! After 35 years leading OPTEL, I know my strength and weakness. To explain the up-down, see answer to other comments... I am very strong and confident on the vision I build.. that what drive me every morning, that why I have invested over $80M in preparing the future that is kicking off now! I love what I do and I love the team I am working with. Let's go, work together to achieve great things.. and accept to fail from time to time..
