Business Outlook
Pros
You still get paid, regardless of if you make any sales or not. Moreover, no pressure in sales, you do your 8 hours shift and get to go home, no headache there.It's all about providing exceptional customer service and keeping the vicinity clean and follow the managements instructions.
Cons
Underpaid, opticians are worth more. lots think (esp management) that all opticians do is really fix broken eyeglasses. But there is much more to it. Anyhow, if you are ambitious this may not be the job for you. Chances for advancement are slim. If you know people from within,the least you could make it a store manager's level. But there is a high level of bureaucracy.
