Pros

this is probably one of the greatest companies to work at in the valley. - benefits are great - subsidized meals - great work environment - very well organized - this company is made up of very talented and honest people - hire at a very competitive salary

Cons

- this company does not have a very good year over year compensation increase. (Less than Inflation) - the only way to get a real raise is to shoot for a management position or through promotions.

Pros

There aren't enough good things I can say about working for 1-800 Contacts. The work-life balance is better than anywhere I have ever been. The culture is collaborative and friendly which makes it really easy to come to work every day. There is a high level of employee focus in the way of events that activities that are held throughout the year. There are also many programs that promote healthy living which I really appreciate. For me, I have witnessed that if you work hard and show dedication, there are many opportunities to growth and advancement, more than any other company I have worked for. I would recommend working here to anyone and would think they are missing out if an opportunity to work here were ever passed up.

No innovation and stagnant workplace

Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed hours. Great work-life balance. Cafeteria onsite. Cheap meals Fun environment. Great place to learn for a junior developer

Cons

Management demands the impossible with impossible deadlines. Slowly removes benefits over time. Treats the IT department with the same standards of Call Center. Does not pay competitively. Easy for a developer to become stagnant and stay that way. This results in a lot of dead weight. Technical decisions are made by managers and marketing teams. Third party applications are preferred over in-house solutions. Silos between IT departments

One of our core values is “Live for the Impossible” so we frequently attempt to accomplish the impossible, and have aggressive deadlines.
