Vantaggi

Shifts were short (but very intense) which left some time for family. My coworkers were mostly friendly. Enjoyed learning how to give eye exams. Loved talking with my patients/customers and getting to know them (even though I knew I was about to screw them).

Svantaggi

Odd hours, constant barrage of irate customers, always under pressure to work faster and sell overpriced and unnecessary packages to customers who clearly couldn't afford it. Company pretty much has a monopoly on the market. They own Pearle, Sears Optical, Target Optical and Sunglass Hut. There is no alternative unless you go to WalMart, CostCo or a private practice (where your wallet will get raked over the coals). Had a very difficult time reconciling my conscience with my manager's sales plan. I felt sleazy talking people into glasses and packages they didn't want and I loathed watching the manager manipulate people into buying glasses everyone in the store knew they didn't need. These things aren't cheap. I left this company because working here made me feel awful about myself.

Vantaggi

when I first started it was a very employee based company. Great discounts, great benefits. Regional managers were swift to help if we had questions and offer support

Svantaggi

Since last year the environment has changed vastly. They no longer care about the employees and only want results. They have raised prices and insurances dont cover as well as they used to and they expect the managers to just force people to buy. If you dont make your monthly goals youre put on a PIP and the Regionals are constantly threatening you to make them. The work life balance does not exist. There is a group chat with your fellow store managers hosted by the Regional and if its your day off they still expect a response. I know it comes from the top down but the micromanaging has gotten so awful. Down to the minute you must be scheduled correctly. I have been here for 3 years and have never had a positive review even though our store has exceeded its goals. Doesnt matter to them, they expect more and more. They raise goals constantly and the only answer they have for making sure we hit those goals is no one leaves, even though they can get the same product from a competitor at a much lower cost.
