Was lucky my first year with an awesome manager. All other 3 managers and experiences were extremely corporate-feeling. - Optician/Sales National Vision Employee Review

Pros

If you're lucky, a good general manager will make the experience better. Solid pay

Cons

Extremely corporate. When you are speaking to your superior managers in the store; the speaking tone they use, techniques, and meetings they hold are all from the higher ups in the corporate office. Absolutely no personalization or supportive store environment. No matter how good you think you are doing corporate will always make a store visit and tell you what you are doing wrong. Always increasing sales goals year over year. No positive feedback from corporate or management. Will mess with your commission based on entire store sales. Never offers stable commission for sales.
