Pros

The work is incredibly rewarding. The process and timeline of getting licensed varies, but averages at about six months to a year depending on the amount of time worked and performance on the ABO.

Cons

Base pay as an apprentice can be a bit rough, but it is worth it in the long run. Studying for the ABO can be a bit hectic and overwhelming.

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.
