National Vision reviews

Underpaid workers and no appreciation for hard workers. Those who do not work are not reprimanded and make their own schedules, including the manager. Manager calls out employees who are 1-2 min late when manager is late at least 30 min-1hr everyday causing upset customers because store is never opened on time. In addition the manager comes in half the time smelling like alcohol. Unrealistic stretched budgets and units goals which are not reachable. If you don't meet your goals you never get commission (btw it's usually 1% commission). Moral is always low among workers because the company will have you work full-time hours or even overtime but still consider you part-time (ie no benefits,low pay, no PTO).

Busy season can be challenging with increased patient volumes. Hard to achieve "sales goals" which include exam goal count. A good percentage of patients may not speak English so being bilingual is a plus. Management and OD may clash over certain issues (each store location has a different story). High turnover rate for upper management (district managers). Some district managers and general managers are not very OD-friendly. Very tight payroll for the staff so some locations feel understaffed and staff routinely complain of being underpaid. Once a staff member is fully trained and becomes really good at their position, usually he/she is usually lured away to another company with higher pay. 60 day notice is required for an OD to leave the company.
