      Pros

      Home working is the only pro

      Cons

      The company has laid off over 30 members of staff, most of them were recruited into the role as full time staff, however once stamp duty land tax holiday can to an end we were left to fend for ourselves, we were laid off and offered just over 100 pounds a month, how in todays world is that enough, save yourselfs the trouble and don’t apply there, the company doesn’t work within the SRA guidelines and is heading into a very bad place, one manager had already been to a employment tribunal for the way they bullied a member of staff

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. COVID has been a very difficult time and as a result, it was necessary to lay off a very small number of staff. We're really sorry we needed to take this action and for the impact this has on both those individual who were immediately impacted and the wider teams. The last two years has been like no other that the business has encountered and we have been forced to make some really difficult decisions to secure the future of our departments. We worked hard to ensure the process was fair, respectful and in line with our contractual obligations.

      Pros

      A company that truly understands and advocates for a work life balance together with a supportive management structure that wants to invest in their staff. Remote working is encouraged but also for those who want to attend the office it is made available. Really helpful HR and IT departments together with open and available management make this a wonderfully rewarding place to work.

      Cons

      With remote working sometimes it is more difficult to get to know everyone in the business, a few more joint office days would be good

      Pros

      I have worked at Optimal Solicitors for over a year now. I have been provided with training when requested, and receive support when required. There has been many opportunities for learning more within the role. The work environment is professional and provides a positive culture for work-life balance. The company makes a genuine effort to unite employees through team activities, outings and charity events.

      Cons

      I can't think of any cons.
