Pros

Awesome cafe and great perks. New building was just finished and they have a volleyball court a great catering chef.

Cons

Too much sales pressure. They focus so much on sales metrics that they want you to get the sale. Tell you what you can do to get a sale every time. Not everyone needs a 2 year supply of contacts.

Pros

Free gym, cereal, snacks & soda. Low cost delicious, chef prepared meals. Great benefits including free eye insurance and half off contact lenses. Living wages, friendly management & flexible hours are just a few of the reasons working here is awesome. It's easy to get along with everyone and it's fun!

Cons

Its a long commute for me. Big deal. Pros out-weigh Cons
