LensCrafters reviews

Advancement from within is pretty rare. In fact, in the two years I spent with the company, in the midst of its cut-throat, ladder-climbing culture, no one successfully acquired a promotion. Not one person. But your GM will tell you that you're in the running-- that your "stretch assignment" is essentially to be a manager, but to not have any real power, and to, of course, get paid the same as the people you are supposed to lead (or significantly less if the associate you are leading has desperately held on for decades). It's all a con. The job is fine if you're in school and have a bright future planned elsewhere, but please do not think LC can be your future. You will end up bitter and jaded if you think LC doesn't have an impact and smudge resistant polycarbonate ceiling. You won't get through. I promise you won't.

They make you learn and do so much for little pay. It's not an in and out job, there are times where we were understaffed and i had to come in earlier, or i had to leave much later. There were times where we were overstaffed, and the ratio employee to customer was 10 to 4. I'm just saying, we do quite a bit of stuff to only getting paid 9 dollars an hr. For a company that claims they are the leading optical right now, they need to treat their employees as well as they treat their customers.
