VSP Vision reviews about "management"

Management can be a hindrance to the development process at times. Pressure for stakeholders can sometimes drive long hours and rushed products out the door in unreasonable time tables. Salaries are a little lower than industry standards.

all jobs are 100% remote

Haven't found any issues with working here.

Management is horrible! They care less and less about the culture and feedback from their employees. They're changing and pushing out previous employees that made VSP a staple in the industry. Hiring leadership outside the industry that don't understand how the optical industry actually works. Constantly changing pay compensation to match a renewable energy sales force. Top reps leaving the company and they keep blaming outside influences on why they can't keep top talent. Management just spins anything bad to the CEO so it's not their fault. Rewarding mediocre sales staff. They don't want innovation or feedback and have now dipped into the world of Private Equity.

low pay Upper management Toxic work environment Mandatory overtime

Company culture needs an overhaul. Vsp makes a lot of bad investments. VPs get attached to ideas and spin and stage information to C Suite which glorifies bad projects that continues to cost money because no one wants to step up and take accountability. And as junior people if you attempt to be bold and flag these projects you will kill all your chances of promotion. Play along thinking is rampant. Most VPs focus spend money to be seen doing things versus using critically evaluating long term profitability potential. VSP’s major competitors are focused on eliminating independent optometry which is VSP’s core business and VSP seems to be buying up more independent optometry which seemed counterproductive since healthcare as we know will dramatically shift in these next 5-10 years. Basically if you want work here, be prepared to be moving backwards.

Lab closed due to upper management decisions.

Benefits could be better. They have increased the amount of PTO for 2023, and the new medical plan for 2023 is better than the previous year. However, they don't offer paid maternity leave, PTO takes awhile to build up, and dental insurance is not cheap. Also, there's no room for advancement. Most people at VSP Vision have worked there for 20 plus years and they haven't changed roles at all. So if you work here be prepared to stay in the same role for awhile, unless you decide to move internally to another team or department.
