Pros
$500 yearly eye wear certificate, 30-50% discounts, always meeting and talking to interesting people. Contests for free glasses happening all the time. The company charity, One Sight, has done some very positive things for people world wide. Commission is good when you earn it.
Cons
You are incredibly micro managed, you are only known for how many dollars you bring in both personally and at the store level. Upper management very much plays the favorites game and makes that obvious. Consistently threatening job by saying they will "promote you to a customer ". You are also required to create store events from your own pocket with no reimbursement from the multu-million dollar company. Promotions from within rarely happen. Regional consistently would tell one manager one thing and another manager something else. Long hours. Very unappreciative and lacking compassion from upper management.
