Pros

1-800 CONTACTS works hard to create a great place to work with a healthy work/life balanced.

Cons

Slower career progression. Since it's such a great place to work, people quite at a lower rate than compared to those of other companies. This coupled with the company being in a mature phase (with not a ton of growth) causes slower career progression.

Change is always a difficult thing in any organization. When change occurs it is sometimes difficult for associates to feel comfortable.

Pros

They hire managers and leaders from within the company. They not only preach taking care of the customer but they actually do it. The people there are great to work with. The environment is very positive.

Cons

It can be very competitive to work up within the company and it can take some time for the opportunities to open up.
