Not bad - Ophthalmic Technician Vision Associates Employee Review

Industry leading benefits: Fantastic healthcare with very low premiums Robust 401k with high percentage match 10 paid holidays (yes, 10) Stock buying options Annual merit increases Premium lens portfolio. Only the industry best. Premium frame brands: All name brand Leadership team are all opticians with a ln understanding of what the real world day to day operations of an optical should look like. Management intimately cares about the associates work/life balance, and our GlassDoor score proves that.

It’s a stretch to find a con per se, however if my arm was twisted, I would have to say that I would like to see our POS system made a little more user friendly. It is understandable that when working in ophthalmology, it is not possible to utilize a retail system that can complete an order speedily, however it can be a challenge for those who come from retail backgrounds and are used to the computer doing most of the work.

Enjoyed who I worked with. Holidays off. 401K. I liked working on commission because I made good money.

Being privately contracted opticians make you slightly excluded from the other employees at the same company as you. Have to meet KPIs and "beat" others to get the best raises. Disliked the new bonus structure as is it could create a hostile work environment. Very little room for advancement a lot of empty promises.
