Pros

Nice coworkers and most holidays off

Cons

DO NOT come here in hopes of the grass being greener. It is all smoke and mirrors. They say all the nice stuff to hook you in such as "We're people first" yet that is far from the truth. They do not care about their people - all they care about it is making money. They're constantly nagging about meeting budget, upselling all these unnecessary items or services. Every day they add more and more little tasks for you to do just adding more to your already overflowing plate. They rarely give raises; If anything they do whatever they can to avoid it. For example, they'll purposely lower your review to say you just met expectations even though in the same review they say you're doing everything right, are going above and beyond, and they can't think of anything you have to improve. They also don't invest in their employees and would much rather hire externally even if those people turn out to be incompetent. And if they hire from outside, you bet they're going to expect you to train them too, all while they're getting paid more than you. They constantly increase the prices of exams, lenses, and frames even though they don't do anything to actually improve anything.

Pros

Great group of people to work with, both coworkers and doctors.None of which came from AEG vision, they came with the acquired office

Cons

Promises made but never kept.Lack of training on all levels. Too much red tape when trying to solve problems. New England managment team is some of the worst in the company. Driving out most staff. Company is unable to recruit and retain tenured and qualified professionals. Only able to hire new grads and inexperienced staff. Disrespect all around. Lab is horrendous. Inferior quality products at laughable prices. The lab really cant deliver on anything. The optician spends endless time wasted on remaking jobs over and over. Then managment reprimands then for remake rates as if we had any control. In this company the bottom performers get rewarded and promoted and the dedicated and hard working are treated as invisible. Almost as invisable as the merit increases. I would never recommend this is a place to work. I would never send my family or friends to do business here.RUN. PE is ruining another healthcare industry.
