Opcity Reviews

As my review title indicates, I'm not a member of the company's exec team. I'm not being asked to leave this review in any way. I (weirdly) have to say this because that’s what some of these reviews might have you believe. However, I don’t want to mislead you here. I am, in fact, being compelled to write this review – but not because someone above me is forcing me to write this or the future of Opcity is precariously depending on whether we have 4.25 stars vs 3.75 – no. Instead, I’m compelled by a responsibility to people thinking of working here; if I was a prospective employee and I looked at these reviews, I'd think - woah, this company is crazy -- the only positive reviews are fake and all the negative reviews are intense! So let me try to set the record straight. I've worked here since July of 17, and I really, truly, honestly (you'll just have to trust me here since this is anonymous) love working here. It’s filled with people who are incredibly skilled at what they do – better than any other place I’ve personally worked – who genuinely want to make Opcity a great company. Part of that pursuit is really difficult. We obviously have a large (and increasingly larger) call center. So prospective employee / random glass-door-passer-by, you should at least think the following “if people typically only leave bad reviews when they’re upset, and Opcity hires a lot of people because they have a large call center, then it’s possible Opcity could have bad reviews and still be a great company.” But I don’t want to discount my fellow reviewers here – Opcity is still figuring things out (heck – *all* companies are figuring things out) and pursuing the goals Opcity is pursuing is definitely very difficult. (of which, I’ll touch in my “cons” section). So the pros of working here? A company that has a great business model, a company that is filled with talent top to bottom, great benefits (e.g. a free lunch that doesn’t make you take a nap immediately after due to being unhealthy / cheap), a company that possesses optimism and care throughout, etc. etc. So again, I assure you this: I’m not a recruiter; I’m not an executive; I’m not a member of some coordinated strategy. Instead, I’m merely trying to uncover the truth to you, the prospective employee – so you can come and see for yourself the company for which I truly, honestly, really love working.

The people first and foremost are some of the best I have encountered. Not every job is glamorous and like any job there are challenges, but the environment must first and foremost be good. The people here create such a magnetic and energetic environment that it's contagious! There is such a variety of backgrounds and types of people here and most of them are truly a joy to be around. Secondly: the pay for what we do is incredible. I don't know many entry level call center jobs that can let you make 60k if you take the time to get good. You can make a lot more if you grind it out. Third: you are in an environment with a lot of room for growth and quick promotion. If you have a positive attitude and work hard you can get into a new position within a few months. Finally: free food daily. The quality can vary, but it is consistently free. Also you get a pre-paid snack card monthly for free snacks. Also building out a full patio with games, regular happy hours, and great culture.
