Pros
I get great satisfaction in helping people and this is a place I can do that. People are having a hard time getting what they need and affording it in this economy, and I am in the position to help them with that. And for that I am Thankful.
Cons
Company does not care about anything except $$$ No reward or positivity at store level, or mid mgmt. level, all negative no matter how much you do. The rewards only come in the form of a little commision If you make the ridiculious sales plans without the hours to be legal in Washington, and do great Customer service. Open 59 hrs aweek and only allowed 69 hrs.for payroll. We could get more hours if we make the sales. But with out the coverage we need to do that, we are being setup. Washington reguires a licensed optician there 80% of open hours. They are NOT sales people. So to do sales the Mgr. or Sales associate need to be there to make sales plan. That cannot happen per company sales to plan grid. Customers suffer and the store employees not to mention the Independent Drs.
