Pros
The pros of working at LensCrafters are small. You are given one free pair of eye wear per year, as well as one free eye exam. Since most stores are open from 9am-9pm (around there), there are different shifts you can work depending on how busy your schedule is.
Cons
The pay is basically nothing. I have worked in 4 different locations and can safely say that all stores have the same issues as I'm going to list below. After working for the company for 4 years and being a part of the management team, I made $10.97 per hour. Commissions are cut each year, to the point where most weeks you only make $20 or less. During insurance week in December, you can sell $18,000 per week and only take home $45 in commission. There are no health benefits available, as management makes sure you work just under the minimum amount of hours to qualify. Management is poor at best. You are controlled to the point of ridicule, micro managed and belittled. You are humiliated in front of customers and openly criticized in front of fellow employees. Scheduling is random and biased in favor of management. Drama runs rampant in most stores. Higher management has no power to change the behaviors of the GMs and RMs. The hiring process is a joke, anyone who is breathing gets hired, regardless of skill or customer service. Management is constantly fighting with each other, making work a miserable and tense experience. As an employee, you are treated as a slave to corporate and management.
