Pros

As a new grad: Decent pay. Good benefits. Paid CE every year. Learning real-world optometry on someone else's dime. You will grow out of it pretty quickly.

Cons

High volume. Not much medical.

Pros

Experience Sundays off Nothing else Hours

Cons

This company does not respect employees, at a regional conference we were told my a regional manager something to the affect that we were grape jelly but we could always be replaced with strawberry jelly. Basically that we were expendable. They don't pay anything near other optical retailers and there is so much work you. I was in a location where most people had government insurance/welfare, and we still expected to make at least $200 sales which is nearly impossible. Upper management does not care at all and are not willing to work with you for help in sales, availability, and conflict with other employees. They also just fired my former manager after a maternity leave and she worked there for 10 years. The only redeeming qualities are that they are willing to take people with no experience and at all locations are closed on sundays but that's probably going to change soon

Pros

There are literally no pros

Cons

Terrible turnover rate, management has completely ruined the morale of the teamwork and will discharge employees for completely unethical, unrelated reason that do not pertain to the job position requirements. Known to discharge without much explanation, and for reasons that are actually the fault of the management and upper management rather than the employee and their position’s responsibilities.
