Pros

None a truly terrible company don't waste your time on this failing company. Low pay retail hours work on holidays and weekends.

Cons

Low pay, retail hours, management is clueless. I was assistant mgr. and will advise against trying to work here. In 4 years I had 6 district Mgrs. That were all equally incompetent. If you have a problem with upper mgmt. you become the problem. If you have no optical experience you will be told to read a book for a week and then they call you an optician. Training is a joke. In Indiana you don't have to have a license to optician, and they take advantage of that by hiring inept employees from top to bottom and pay them astoundingly low wages. Before I quit I was reprimanded for doing my job more efficiently. Also the quality of products are terrible. I never used my annual free pair of glasses coupon, because of the horrible frame and lens quality. I went to a local private practice.

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.
