      Promoting from within is big at NVI

      General manager

      Pros

      It doesn't matter how you start, it's how you finish. I started out as a receptionist and reluctantly moved from reception to sales to assistant manager to general manager. The company is really big on making sure you are afforded every opportunity to go further and further. They encourage growth personally and professionally. They continue to provide you with the tools to learn the trade. It's a very good company to work for whether you're fresh out of school or coming back into the work force.

      Cons

      The pay is not very good. However, you are given ways, depending on your job description, to add to your wages. In this current pandemic climate, this would be ideal if you were not employed.

      Depends on perspective & motivation

      Optometrist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      See alot of patients, help alot of uninsured/low socioeconomic class people, great pay and benefits, supportive staff, good tech support (Ret Imaging, AutoK/IOP, FDT Screening, Exam room setup), holidays off and fair PTO, no on call duties, good contact lens selection (relationship with xcel for RGPs, but no topography, must be able to fit through NaFl assessment)

      Cons

      See alot of patients (avg 28-32 a day), no OCT/VF machine, you can practice medical optometry to some extent (manage aseg conditions, diabetics, uveitis) but many cases referred due to volume of patients (upside is building excellent relationships with local OMD's). Carries a bad name in general optometric industry due to branding off "cheap" eyecare but upside is this is affordable to a very large and ignored patient population. Difficult maintaing respectful relationships with OD's outside of Company network. No control over scheduling (Can get 3 diabetics all within 5:00-5:30 PM which can extend when you can go home due to dilations). But truly the company allows OD's to practice to the extent in which they are comfortable but the lack of control in scheduling means a comprimise must be made.
