Pros

Salary. Technicians and sales staff can be helpful in delegating tasks. Equipment and office supplies are provided and in most offices equipment are well maintained.

Cons

Even with equal number of years of experience female optometrists are paid less than male optometrists. Pay and bonus based upon number of patients seen per day. Brief patient care time means more bonus dollars. Requests for vacation can be denied and requesting days off requires weeks in advance notice. Paid annual CE is adequate however the food included is mediocre buffet or sandwiches with one special dinner night (chicken or steak) with the 600 K salaried CEO, CFO, and several VPs.

Pros

The discounts for you an your family and friends.the eye dr is amazing ...

Cons

Very petty work environment and alot of gossip between coworkers. Management is hard to get along with. If you are an optician expect to have all responsibilities placed upon your and if anybody makes a mistake management will repremando the optician on shift.nor flexibility or regularity to the schedule. If promised a set schedule expect it to be broken and don't ever expect a raise 7 years and 21 cents .

Pros

The pay is very competitive, and the benefits are nice and it is not often you find an optometrist job with paid time off

Cons

Patient load can be exhausting, but it can be manageable if you expect it. During the summer the patient load is much less and is a nice break from first quarter
