Pros

Required individual sales quotas easily met, decent commission in the high traffic stores, no previous experience required, on the job training, generous paid time off for full-time employees.

Cons

Some GM's are hired in with no previous experience in optical or retail management, extremely frustrating to work for a manager that doesn't have a clue how to lead a team. Low hourly pay.
