Pros

There is an opportunity to make pretty good money. They pay fairly well for an entry level apprentice optician.

Cons

Management is prone to making promises they know they won't be delivering to keep employees working hard when there is no real reward waiting. Promotions and job status changes are the most common promises that either never come through or take so long you are ready to leave before it happens.

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.
