What People Are Saying About Optimum
-
Healthcare Strength: Health coverage includes medical, dental, and vision from day one, alongside company‑paid life/AD&D and short‑ and long‑term disability. Mental health support is included, and overall breadth is described as solid for a large telecom.
-
Wellbeing & Lifestyle Benefits: Discounted (often free in‑footprint) internet/TV/mobile is a distinctive perk, complemented by wellness programs, EAP access, commuter benefits, and pet/auto/home insurance options. Tuition reimbursement and university partnerships add meaningful lifestyle and development value.
-
Leave & Time Off Breadth: Paid time off, sick leave, paid holidays, and volunteer time are part of the package. Parental leave and family medical leave further expand the time‑off offering.
