Pros

-Discount -Free eye exam -Flexible schedule (depending on the manager)

Cons

-Horrible managers -No opportunity for raises -Little to no professionalism -Expect texts from managers at all hour of the night asking if you can cover shifts Overall, my experience with this company fluctuated. When I first started it was such a positive environment that was challenging yet fun! Everybody was treated fairly and the communications between manager and associates were great! After various changes in management, the way to the top became about who sucked up to the manager the most as opposed to who was performing and who was an overall better employee. It became a game of favoritism, thus the scheduling business (who got the hours with the most traffic, who got the most hours in general) depended on who the manager PERSONALLY favored, not who was the better seller or who did their job better... It became quite childish, and after two years of being with the company, I had to go. Once I put in my two weeks, my manager waisted no time in cutting my hours and leaving me with THREE hour shifts. Evidently such treatment resulted in me departing earlier than planned. My voice and frustrations did not matter, though I invested 2 whole years in this company and my performance led me to get promoted and obtain countless of offers to grow in the company. My leaving on my own, without ever being asked to resign resulted in my manager marking that I was "terminated". I'm thoroughly disappointed with the treatment that I and many who have worked in the center I worked at received. After two years of being in the Sunglasshut world, I did not want to leave on such note but the treatment I received left me with no choice. I was under such management for 8 months, not because I was happy but because I loved my job. Though it was part-time work while I was in school, I was invested.

Pros

Getting 1% of your sales commission every month + base play + bonuses depending on how well the store does adds up a lot. When I worked here, I was one of the best sellers in my district and my store was 14/21 in our district - which led to me making roughly $21-$23 an hour once you added everything up and divided by the amount of time that I worked. Stocking and pushing stuff to the floor is cartoonishly easy considering how small the sunglasses and that packaging actually is. AP is super easy because there's not that much ground to cover. The biggest thing is that this job basically lives and dies by how good of a seller you are and how much of a people person you are. 80% of this job is just about making sales and hitting company quotas and the other 20% is visual merchandising, operational management, making schedules, etc.

Cons

In my district, the district manager kept badgering us about our numbers and moving goal post for us even when we were off the clock and getting in touch with him was nearly impossible. They're also really nitpicky when it comes to how you allocate hours and how you schedule people - even when the store is already meeting company goals. There's also just a lot of straight up favoritism in upper upper management and a lot of nonsense decisions the DM just made because of "vibes" and nothing else. They pushed a lot of unrealistic goals for stores on super short notice and they came up with a lot of ideas that were just kinda trash - while forcing us to swallow it and to try to make it work.
