Pros

You do get good training in the optical world... Most people on the store level have fantastic work ethic and try to be the best they can be. Most struggle alot and care about trying to fulfill corporate expectations. They are very knowledgeable about product. You will meet people whose work ethic you will admire....but....

Cons

Cutting hours is my main qualm..how can you plan a budget for your family this way, and then they expect you to work like a mad dog to fulfill 2000$ sales goals. Overall I feel taken advantage of, its not a give and take. Its a take and take. The pay is lousy for what it takes out of you mentally, coupled with the knowledge that other jobs would pay more for you to do less. By one year , I am totally burnt out and resentful. And I was a good employee who hit my daily sales goals and was courteous and profesional.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
