1-800 Contacts reviews

As a woman in leadership at 1-800 Contacts, who started in our Call Center, I first want to say I hear your concerns. It is important that all of our associates, both women and men, feel they have the opportunity to come to Contacts and thrive. The existence of a “boys-club” is not an unfamiliar rumor or term, and early in my career I even found myself sharing this perception at times. But what I have also found over the years and currently is that 1-800 Contacts is a company where men and women alike can have rewarding careers. From manager to VP level, we currently have 27% female leadership. We’re not where we’d like to be yet, but I’m confident we’re moving in the right direction. Recently there have been many great changes to help drive and encourage more diverse leadership. Aspiring female leaders have access to a bi-weekly Women in Leadership lunch, internal mentorships and sponsors, and trainings. I personally have tremendous confidence in our CEO and leadership team, and know that we have the right people in place to make a difference. We continue to evolve for the better, striving to be more inclusive across the board in all that we do, from promotions to discussions to development opportunities.
