Pros

Flexible hours since most of the stores are in malls. OK benefits and employee discounts. You can get your training here and move on to bigger and better things!

Cons

Store managers are hired without any optical knowledge, so it's very difficult for them to know what they're doing. Lower paid associates are basically training their managers who get paid twice as much as them! You have to work weekends and holidays. PAY IS VERY LOW!! Over-worked since management is always worried about scheduling the least amount of workers possible in order to save on hours. No communication from managers to associates.

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.
