Pros

Good place to learn new trade

Cons

Company policies and upper management have ruined what used to be a great company. There is no accountability for upper management. They are free to do whatever they want. If they are good managers with integrity and treat everyone fairly it is not a problem. But too many of them are not good managers. Their treatment of people changes like the weather. And corporate doesn't care. As long as it doesn't put the company in a bind or take away from their profit, they won't do anything to any upper management person. If you are desperate for a job and get in at Lenscrafters, don't work on making it a career. You will only be dissappointed in the end.
