Pros
Good for a young student who wants to earn some $ and eager to learn about the optical world!
Cons
’ve worked for this company as a licensed optician for over two years. What initially attracted me were their core values, such as being tight-knit and down-to-earth. However, this company is disorganized, and their actions do not reflect even the slightest bit of what they advertise. They constantly change their promotions and incentive programs, including bonuses. Upper management is very disconnected from the store level. They claim to be better than the big corporations by valuing their employees, yet they have a very high turnover due to widespread dissatisfaction. This company is also very anti-optician and does not adhere to the values of regulatory opticians. To save money, they are willing to hire anyone off the street, even without optical experience or healthcare etiquette.Some of the upper management are only as good as scarecrows! The majority of them are people who have been fired (fire-ees) from other companies and somehow ended up here. So you can imagine how professional they are. The dress code is on another level—you can literally walk in wearing your pajamas, which is extremely unprofessional (not conforming to expected standards of behavior) for healthcare settings."
