Pros

I am grateful to have a job. It took me six months to find a job (any job) in my area.

Cons

There is no room for growth. If you are asked to cross-train, there is no compensation. Part-time is not flexible because even though there is room to work the schedule with how many other part-time people there are, they will not give you a specific day off consistently because it may show as favoritism. The patient schedule template changes. This location has both remote and doctor. They overload the remote side and then complain why lunch schedules are off and we stay after closing, leading to overtime(which is a no-no), Management has no control over this, it is corporate. Also, cutting hours after being part-time, but also hiring more part-time people. I have also learned that what you apply for, may not be where they have you train.

Pros

Decent team, regional management did their best

Cons

Abusive patients, extremely low pay. The company's "two for one and a free eye exam" deal is deceptive being that it does not include any lens options other than the bare minimum, and it limits you to a certain section of (very ugly and cheaply made) frames. Patients, upon realizing that this deal was misleading, would often take it out on the staff.
