Lovely management
Customer Service Advisor (Former Employee) - Hampton, Greater London - 23 April 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedLovely office manager , and admin team keen to create a positive vibe . Free breakfasts and nice use of kitchen for everyone to relax . Fun Christmas dos arranged and overall kind friendly environment. At worst too stressful , recruiters not pulling their weight and dealing with complaint after complaints.
Pros
Free breakfast, leave early on fridays, pub trips .
Cons
Too many complaints, unfair division of responsibilities

Worst company ever
Labourer (Former Employee) - Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire - 19 June 2023
Wouldn’t work for them You Never get paid from them at all you work hard and you get nothing in return. And while I was working on site people did say what a joke the company was that they had a few lads walk of site due to not been paid.

4 April 2023Hi, thanks for your comments. The best thing for you is to call our head office on 020 8783 9222 today and get this resolved. Optima has up to 1,000 contractors on site each week and for everyone to get paid on time just requires all admin and details to be in place which we are more than happy to help you with. The vast majority of contractors are paid as they expect but if there are any admin issues just call us today. Many thanks. Dan

0 star if possible
This would be 0 star if possible. Worked with this agency and they have no idea who is working for them. I was not paid after completing a one of the hardest shifts of labouring of my life I have been trying to explain my job to their customer service on the phone and I even send them a photo of the register which I signed which is clearly named by the client. I do not recommend them at all if you are a grown adult who has bills and people to provide this really put me in a hole this weekend. Still waiting to see how this is dealt with.
Pros
Work
Cons
No pay on date promised

They had no time to find out my working hours. i have not seen them neither been invited to office even once that made me feel like they are not a serious company to work for. the salary was not advanced comparing to other major companies for the hard work.
Pros

Terrible
Labourer (Former Employee) - Hook, Hampshire - 16 September 2020

Pros
None

they don't pay you what was agreed
Construction Worker (Former Employee) - numerous locations - 1 September 2020
Most of the times I worked for them, I would say every single time I worked for them, they paid less then it was agreed. Every time I had to be stressed and had to call them to fight for my money. Every single time. Always.
Pros
you can always leave Optima and find a job somewhere else instead
Cons
low rates and constant cheating

Liars agreed to a rate and got paid less
Slinger Signaller (Former Employee) - Bath, Somerset - 12 April 2020
They are a buch of liars, agreed for a rate per day and got paid £20 less(per day) . They offer me a "long term job" in Bath which in reality was for a day cover for a guy going for a wedding. They are a shame for crane industry!
Pros
Good liars
Cons
Wasting people time. Respect is missing. Arrogants

Liars
360 operator (Former Employee) - Newbury, Berkshire - 19 February 2020
Dont believe a word this company's says. They will lie to you whatever the cost. Was told ongoing work with overtime ect and when I got here it was only a days work. They then decided to fleece me out of hours and the woman on the phone was very rude when I asked about this. She said as she dont get paid for break time no one else does. This is against the law.
