Pros

Contacts tries very hard to take care of their employees! There are many perks that come with a part of the job. Especially if you work in-house. They are in a beautiful new building with an onsite restaurant, gym and many other pluses. The upper management seems to really care about the employees and we have awesome parties every summer.

Cons

My department is consistently understaffed and going through managerial changes. The morale has started to slip because we don't feel we're paid enough for how hard we work, especially since it's busy all the time and they can't keep the department properly staffed.

There aren't many bad things to be said about 1800 Contacts, which is why I continue to chose to work here!

Pros

1800 contacts is all all about creating "wow" experiences. The aim of the company is to create a simple and exceptional experience. They have more than done that for their employees as well. I have been "wowed" many of times by associates, management, and the trust given to employees to create that experience for customers as well. Amazing company.

Cons

I live over 25 minutes away without traffic. Location; though great for business, is difficult for commute. Other than that, I can't complain.
