Pros

For retail, hours aren't bad. Work/life balance is ok. Clean, professional environment.

Cons

Unfortunately, too many cons. Communication and support from DM level up is confusing and minimal. Vastly different responsibilities from store to store, depending on size. Manager bonus structure is incredibly cheap. Just had a month where sales were up 15% and profit was up 11k year over year...bonus $150. Sales/kpi budgets too high to achieve and pressure to perform is high.

Pros

Co-Workers PTO Licensing opportunities for optician positions is probably the headliner The work is genuinely interesting

Cons

Corporate culture is entirely "CYA" with a side of saccharine group cheerleading while every single individual above the store level will privately admit that it's essentially rudderless because nobody wants to risk standing out. Low pay relative to the industry and intelligence needed to competently perform the job(s) w/yearly raises that are so low that it's more of an insult than not offering raises at all would be.
