Pros

Flexible scheduling is available. They sell chic, good quality products and the employee discount can even be used on clearance stock. The nicest glasses I own came from LC. I learned a lot, but mostly on my own. It was a great place to work while I was in optometry school.

Cons

There is a wide variety of management styles among GMs. Some are not very friendly to scheduling needs where some are awesome. There is the usual propagation of ineffective managers who stay employed in spite of their lacks. The amount of commission is very low and gets lower if the store fails to make sometimes ridiculous sales goals (at least when I was there we were expected to make goals based on a strong economy when it had clearly tanked).

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.
