Pros

You receive a free $500 pair of sunglasses if you work up to a year. It can be fun selling to people and the products are nice and fun to learn about. It's a relatively easy and cushy job as far as sales go.

Cons

Management does not understand their employees. They expect you to sell, sell, sell, but unless you like in California or Arizona, you can't always reach goals and therefore commission only happens in the summer months. There is little to no training. I've been there for almost three years and I still don't know how to properly fix glasses. Hours are unreliable and few and far between.

Pros

Employee discount, commission when available

Cons

I worked my fingers to the bone at this company for years and not once received recognition for it in any way, a raise, a promotion, a shout out, nothing. All too often employees are scheduled to cover an entire store single handedly performing duties outside the job requirement and are not payed adequately for it in addition to preventing theft during peak business hours of the day when the store is at its busiest. In my time working here, I saw dozens of employees and 9 managers quit because of working conditions. While working here management also implied that I was disposable and simply a commodity which can be replaced at any time instead of a valuable team member.

Pros

There weren't any really. The 50% off sunglasses every now and then was good. Sometimes free sunglasses or product was given out.

Cons

Regional managers were liars, no work life balance. Management didn't care if you had a family event or wedding. No breaks, worked every holiday, barely any weekends off.
