      Pros

      I enjoy the gym, cafe and the flexibility in schedule. Also the ability to work at home.

      Cons

      There isn't much development once you have been there for over 6 months. It seem like they would prefer to hire an new person instead of develop their current employees.

      We definitely don't want you to feel like you're not being developed. I would love to sit down and chat with you about development opportunities if you feel comfortable with it. We have several tools available to help identify skill gaps and individual strengths. Once we've worked through that we can set up a development plan for you. Please swing by my office so we can chat! Thanks for leaving the feedback.

      Pros

      There are so many pros about contacts. One that amazed me was the opportunity for growth. I was constantly recognized for my hard work and was promoted a few times because of it. I saw others around me get promoted to positions in management within only a few months of working at contacts because they were such driven and hard workers. Other perks were the amazing events, the wellness center (and the wellness center staff who are so dedicated to helping the associates) on-site massages, on-site vision center with free exams for employees and family, half off contacts and eye wear, on-site grill, tuition assistance, associate outreach, shift flexibility, and great work-life balance.

      Cons

      I would say that contacts pays slightly lower than surrounding companies.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's important for us to know what associates value and what is remembered most. We are in the process of reviewing our compensation structure and have already started to make some positive changes. It's always great to see alumni speak so highly of the organization. Thank you!
