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.

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
