No hours to give current employees, but hiring new staff!

Pros

LensCrafters is a great place to work for if you are getting your feet wet in the optical business. It is also a great place for those looking to get no more than 15 hours a week.

Cons

Not enough training. People are hired off the street with no experience and expected to bring in sales. For those already working, hours get cut to provide new hours to new hires.

Pros

Free pair of glasses and good vision insurance are great. I really enjoyed working in the model where you get to do the pretesting for the doctors side as well. If you are in a store that makes goal regularly commissions are also really nice!

Cons

Some of the management (especially upper management) seem to make decisions that are counter intuitive. I recall issues with some people not getting any hours and others having more than they want- but both are just shy of "full time". Also, I don't think they even hire "full time" employees anymore if they aren't salaried.
