Pros

Free pair of glasses every year

Cons

Though you are an "independent doctor of optometry" you are expected to take all of their poorly negotiated insurance plans (think 50% less than an independent practice) and work Saturdays and holidays. Literally, one of their insurance plans pays just $34 for a comprehensive eye exam! Good luck paying back your $XXX,XXX student loans on that. If you don't do as they please your sublease will not be renewed. Not only that, they will give you 30days to pack your things up, communicate with your staff and patients, and leave.

Pros

Pay is competitive Other opticians are welcoming Commission for sales

Cons

Customer satisfaction is not the priority. Case in point: Telehealth exams. Telehealth exams are a nightmare for the staff, and more importantly, for the patients. The company schedules one every 20 minutes, but each telehealth exam takes 45 minutes to complete, and that's if everything goes well, which is extraordinarily rare. Way too often, there is a doctor shortage, or electronic issue, resulting in exams taking over an hour. As a result, some patients end up waiting two and a half hours for an eye exam, which is not fair to them. Also, the clinical specialists that work the front desk can be rude and short to patients, which can intimidate them, and numerous attempts at correcting them have been scorned. There's not really anything else management can do about it, since they are protected by the union that opticians and clinical specialists are required to be in
