We are glad you enjoyed perks like the gym and cafeteria, and that you had good work-life balance while working at 1-800 Contacts. Associates’ wellbeing is important to the company, and we strive to provide the resources and flexibility our people need to maintain healthy, happy lives.
Also, thank you for sharing your experience of working in our Engineering department; we take feedback seriously and use it to find ways to improve. Tech debt and tech stack are complicated in established ecommerce enterprises, and it's an issue we've been working on from the beginning. We currently have multiple projects underway to tackle tech debt and streamline our tech stack. Working through tech debt and optimizing systems is a constant need, and we know that in the ever-changing landscape of tech, this job will never be fully done.
We want to acknowledge that because of low turnover and high tenure in our Engineering department, advancement has a bottleneck. That said, we encourage continual skill growth and celebrate when associates can find advancement outside of the organization if advancement inside of the organization is not available within an associates desired timeline. Additionally, we are dedicated to promoting from within as higher-level and leadership positions become available.
Lastly, we appreciate your feedback on pay. We regularly review our compensation structure to remain competitive and ensure we’re recognizing the great work our team does. Your input will help guide those ongoing conversations.
