Pros

Other team members empathize with me on how awful it is to work here and have realistic outlooks

Cons

Those at the corporate level are so out of touch it is laughable (pushing 2 for $78 through advertising and also pushing us to nearly triple those numbers for sake of budget), invest almost nothing in associates (got a $0.30 raise after a year of EXCEPTIONAL performance, and another dollar for a POSITION PROMOTION - other companies in this field will pay twice as much starting out as you will make after two raises), insurance is expensive and terrible (although the company does love to pat themselves on the back saying "well we didn't let it go up until this year!" It leaves a very bad taste in your mouth making less than $30k a year and still shelling out as much as I do for insurance.

Pros

Co-Workers PTO Licensing opportunities for optician positions is probably the headliner The work is genuinely interesting

Cons

Corporate culture is entirely "CYA" with a side of saccharine group cheerleading while every single individual above the store level will privately admit that it's essentially rudderless because nobody wants to risk standing out. Low pay relative to the industry and intelligence needed to competently perform the job(s) w/yearly raises that are so low that it's more of an insult than not offering raises at all would be.
