Pros

The Job Is Easy Enough

Cons

Understaffed constantly and everyone is underpaid very badly. Receptionists are paid like $11-12 an hour and associates are paid like $12/hr plus a 1% commission but that is nothing when you sell thousands of dollars worth of glasses and lenses per week. In the end a full time associate like myself made like $850-950 depending on how busy or slow the week was. If they bumped up the commission and upped the based pay to $14-15 and hour they would get more people in the door. And the underpaid receptions is why we couldn't keep any. Even Management is underpaid! Now for the techs they were also underpaid and had to be trained under the doctors so double pressure. Just no good all around and it starts with pay. Just pay your people!

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.
