Pros

You don't have to deal with insurance. When you leave for the day your duties are done. No hiring/firing duties. Pretty good compensation package.

Cons

Corporate bosses that tell the doctors which contact lenses to fit, often pushing unhealthy outdated lenses on the patients and tying the doctor's compensation levels (when allowed by state law) to the # of patients seen and the % of those who walk with an Rx for the "preferred" contact lens: 'Softmed'. They even tell you which solutions you have to recommend. Can these business practices even be legal in what is supposed to be a medical office? No advanced diagnostic equipment, and a corporate culture that actively DISCOURAGES doctors from practicing full-scope optometry, because that gets in the way of the company's top priority: having the docs write as many glasses and contacts Rx's in a shift as possible.

Pros

Decent team, regional management did their best

Cons

Abusive patients, extremely low pay. The company's "two for one and a free eye exam" deal is deceptive being that it does not include any lens options other than the bare minimum, and it limits you to a certain section of (very ugly and cheaply made) frames. Patients, upon realizing that this deal was misleading, would often take it out on the staff.
