Pros

Entry level friendly, free glasses and contacts annually. There is a great chance to help clients and grow a loyal customer base.

Cons

I've been working for the company for over 5 years, and in that time I have had 6 GMs. I should have known they were bad news when open enrollment came around and my GM signed my paperwork for me! I called HR because I was fairly new to the company and the only thing they did about it was to tell the GM exactly what I called them about. Several stores have lost their entire staff and had to start from scratch, the turnover rate is obscene, but that's how they get away with paying employees such unlivable wages. GMs rarely are given time to live outside employment, no vacations, no family time, working for peanuts over 60 hours a week until they can be replaced. My KPI's have always been well above company standards, but this year when our reviews came up I was denied a raise. Those who rarely show up for their shifts, or when they do come could care less about actually working, were given enormous raises. Now to top it off, our RS leaves in the middle of her shift leaving two EWS to run the store. This company seems to reward those who don't deserve it and punish those who want to work for them. Their tracking systems of sales is quirky and there are always discrepancies, upper management placates complaints, the stores are always understaffed and hours are continually cut, and the computer system is outdated to say the least, all of this destroys good customer service.

Pros

Good staff, good pretest and lane equipment

Cons

You are expected to see a large number of patients, to take all walk-ins, even at quitting time which means you will work past your scheduled quitting time on occasion. Also, they do not allow the doctor to take a lunch.

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.
