Pros

I enjoy the people I work with and the flexibility to borrow ahead on PTO. It's great that people are shown different roles and trained is various positions making work flow fluid day to day. It's a good foot in the door for someone new to learn how things work.

Cons

Pay is based on the private practice prior to acquisition as well as rhe general range for other practices in the company in the area. This means it's typically lower than similarly sized private practices, even with sales. In addition, we have to use VSP labs and have had a lot of trouble lately with orders being restarted because of failed quality checks, patient owned frames being damaged, and or jobs being incomplete or of poor quality when recieved. There are also blackout periods where you cannot take time off such as round holidays (Mid December through New Years) and the month of March because of spring break.

Pros

Great group of people to work with, both coworkers and doctors.None of which came from AEG vision, they came with the acquired office

Cons

Promises made but never kept.Lack of training on all levels. Too much red tape when trying to solve problems. New England managment team is some of the worst in the company. Driving out most staff. Company is unable to recruit and retain tenured and qualified professionals. Only able to hire new grads and inexperienced staff. Disrespect all around. Lab is horrendous. Inferior quality products at laughable prices. The lab really cant deliver on anything. The optician spends endless time wasted on remaking jobs over and over. Then managment reprimands then for remake rates as if we had any control. In this company the bottom performers get rewarded and promoted and the dedicated and hard working are treated as invisible. Almost as invisable as the merit increases. I would never recommend this is a place to work. I would never send my family or friends to do business here.RUN. PE is ruining another healthcare industry.
