Vantaggi
On the whole the customers within the stores are great, often friendly and a pleasure to serve. The store in which I'm based is open 6 days a week with no late nights, others will be different.
Svantaggi
There is a culture within Spevsavers which encourages bullying and harassment. The management seem very reluctant to deal with this. Most staff within my store and the two other stores own by our directors have at some point been off work sick with stress and/or anxiety. The level of skills and knowledge needed for a role which pays minimum wage is ridiculous, should be paying staff more! The bonus scheme is laughable! There is no sick pay, only ssp. There are courses available to enhance your skills but you will not get paid while going on them, despite them being run by specsavers and having to wear specsavers uniform to attend. They will pay travel expenses...........eventually! I am still waiting for travel expenses to be paid from my last course 4 months ago and have cancelled the next one as I refuse to do it until I get the money repaid from last time.
