Pros

You get a free pair of glasses and kind of learn optics.

Cons

Low pay (just above Minimum wage. They only hire part time. You only get 30 hours a week if you're lucky. I wouldn't recommend the company to anybody looking. for an optical job. The training is good but you are micro managed. You are more of a telemarketer because once the patients come there They don't want to return because of the extra costs and you have to recall patients. 90% of the time you get voice mail. the other 10% of the time the patients either say no thanks or curse you. Fun times. The company also doesn't believe in paying for experience.

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.
