Pros

I absolutely love this company. I have worked for other companies and it's nothing like this. They GIVE you full control over your customer's experience. No scripts. No check-lists. It's terrific! I couldn't believe the perks they give to their employees!! They welcome with a full applause when you walk in the door. Never had an entrance like that!!!!

Cons

Absolutely nothing work with this company!!!!!

Pros

I started working at Contacts in order to pay for school. I fell in love with the culture and the family feel that contacts has and ended up making a career out of it. I graduated school and decided that the grass was greenest right where I was. My Pros are : Managment is invested in promoting from within. Benefits are great including a gym, subsudized cafeteria, tuition reimbursment, corporate events and more. Management trusts people and empowers them to make decisions for themselves.

Cons

There is a lot of talent and you have to be patient at times. Promotions can take a while because of the high competition. As a front line associate the work could be somewhat tedious at times. Managers were always pretty good at keeping things fresh and exciting through competitions and incentives.

Pros

I have worked for 1-800 Contacts for roughly 6 years now, and can honestly say that I LOVE my job. Since joining the 1-800 Contacts family, I have had the opportunity to work with so many honest, fun, hardworking people. The culture here at 1-800 Contacts is one that makes you feel, 1.That your employer has your back 2. You will ALWAYS be valued as an individual 3. We practice what we preach 4. That we know when to have fun, and know when its time to get down to business. Between you and me, this is the BEST place to work!

Cons

There seems to be a slack of transparency from upper management at times with changes within departments, and I know that can be unnerving at times for associates.
