Pros

Closed on Sundays which helps maintain a decent work life balance.

Cons

-Field management is awful. They celebrate the number of years you’ve been employed with NVI, in return helps with promotion vs. strong leaders who develop people, invest their time in the business. -Field will spend thousands on meetings and dinners, drive in flashy cars meanwhile store associates get not annual increases -No growth opportunities even though they tell you there are -Pay matrix is low for all positions especially entry level positions. Staff wears multiple hats and juggles multiple tasks and are getting paid minimum wage or slightly higher.

Pros

Pretty easy work Company is modernizing Friendly environment Most patients are delightful

Cons

They used to be closed on Sunday, but now that's changed Store budgets are divided up between stores in the same district by the DM, which lends itself to favoritism when stores are given their monthly goals If you are the only LDO, you may end up working a LOT until you are able to find a second LDO
