Pros

They pay for a CE event every year

Cons

Very busy. You are expected to see a patient every 10 minutes. It’s not uncommon to average 28+ patients per day - depending on how many show up. Staff is often new and undertrained considering how high turnover is. Dismiss any disillusionment about the company caring for underserved patient population - corporate runs the company as a business to maximize profit.

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.
