Pros

Our CEO is a wonderful wonderful man. He does great things for our company. You have room to grow, they care about their employees. Very family oriented. They strive for you and help you make this a career. PTO is great, and their focus for the community makes you proud to work here. I couldn’t say enough great things about the leaders we have at corporate! Best company I’ve worked for by far.

Cons

Pay. It took me 6 years to get where I am. It’s very hard to make a living out of this career with this company. Even being licensed AND and assistant manager we’re paid on the very very low end of “Licensed dispensing optician” salary rate. If the company paid more for all of their associates, we wouldn’t have the turn over rate that we do. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the company, and the people I work with, I would have to leave for more pay. Only other con is sometimes it’s hard to make your voice heard-but that’s like that at a lot of workplaces.
