      Pros

      If you want to work someplace where you feel important, this is a great place for you. It is encouraged to promote from within and it isn’t rare to meet people in upper management that started at the store level. The commitment from the CEO to communicate openly with the organization is amazing. The brand mission of helping people is truly what is expected of every associate, pretty simple if you like to be helpful.

      Cons

      Biggest downside in my market is the preconceived notion perpetuated by our competition that the products on offer are somehow substandard because the prices are so much lower than other optical retailers.

      I'm sure it's fine if you don't work in the stores.

      Pros

      The paid time off is nice, and the hours are okay. Insurance is decent.

      Cons

      This company's HR Department is absolutely nonexistent. Whatever issue you may have, you're lucky to get a consistent back and forth with someone. I'm sure it's great if you work a management or corporate position, but for the standard rank and file, you're never really given a sniff. You're expected to drive in hazardous conditions, take an enormous amount of stress and flak, for a grade of pay that is frankly insultingly low, despite commission. They extend no opportunities for the associates to move up in the company.
