      Pros

      - Benefits are truly amazing! I've had 2 babies while I worked here. The company and my boss were so supportive during my maternity leaves. Both of my kiddos are on my insurance because it's super cheap compared to my husband's. I also have the opportunity to work a hybrid schedule and that comes in clutch while balancing being a full-time working mom. - Opportunity for growth is there if you want it at the mid- to entry level. We're growing like crazy and can usually find or work with the company to create the next role. My manager is supportive and willing to mentor me for my next step. - The people. The people here are really something special and make 1-800 Contacts a fun, supportive, friendly place to work.

      Cons

      A downside is feeling like you can't leave. They make it so dang amazing to work here it's hard to justify going somewhere else. I feel indebted to the company after all they've done for me.

      Best Company I've Ever Worked For

      Pros

      I have been able to meet SO MANY amazing people within this company. People who work really hard, who are fun, and who encourage and inspire me to continue in my career and personal development growth. On multiple occasions, I have been blown away by surprise and delight moments relating to associate appreciation. Planned events in-person have been fun and usually includes great food. Company benefits are amazing, including equity options! Many development opportunities (as long as you are proactive about seeking them out for yourself).

      Cons

      In a few roles I've been in, there were no standards of procedure documented beforehand, which could be a challenge to navigate what to do and how to do it. But it became a development opportunity that I have been grateful for to contribute to creating and editing those.
