Pros
Great benefits, sick days and vacation days are pretty good. They provide thorough training and materials for staff who are new to the optical industry. Selling is easy because they have good prices and products selection.
Cons
Management is a hit or miss. If you land a job in a busy and well established location, you have better luck at securing your hours and possibly higher pay. If the store partner is not taking care of the team, it will be a hard time for you. Their business model is franchise, so you can expect some competition between the stores instead of working together or providing inter-store support. Company and management and store partners’ value don’t align. It’s not a place for growth. If you are looking for part time or casual full time job while looking for something more long term, it will be a good fit for you.
