Excellent learning experience

Pros

You gain a large breadth of experience with optometry tech as well as sales experience with glasses. It's challenging and engaging all the way down.

Cons

Upper management is always breathing down your neck for better sales volume, forcing you to have to grind through customers quickly. Customers range from pleasant, to absurdly challenging. Becomes exhausting quick unless you have a high tolerance for a fast-paced work environment.

Pros

Coworkers and Dr.’s are great.

Cons

1.Only one tech responsible for 2 doctors. 2.Scheduled for 8 hours but end up working for about 10 due to massive workload for one person. 3. Upper management only wants to overlook schedules and throw a bunch of walk ins your way even if you are full and alone. 4. No respect for the employees schedules, always expected to be available despite management being aware of days you can and can't work.
