Pros

None at all. Can’t think of a single positive thing.

Cons

The company expects one person to do the work of multiple. They do not care about employees well being. The district managers have more stores than they can deal with which allows the store to be poorly managed. The corporate trainers are terrible and tried to make me excited that the customers get a better deal on glasses than employees. I have never worked at a place that I disliked more. I will never recommend it to anyone. The one call I had with the Vice President he took his frustration out on everyone and informed them that they will be working through COVID lockdown that they would not shut down. They also tried to tell us that unemployment would cover our reduced hours. Honestly a terrible company. I have stories for days.

Pros

when I first started it was a very employee based company. Great discounts, great benefits. Regional managers were swift to help if we had questions and offer support

Cons

Since last year the environment has changed vastly. They no longer care about the employees and only want results. They have raised prices and insurances dont cover as well as they used to and they expect the managers to just force people to buy. If you dont make your monthly goals youre put on a PIP and the Regionals are constantly threatening you to make them. The work life balance does not exist. There is a group chat with your fellow store managers hosted by the Regional and if its your day off they still expect a response. I know it comes from the top down but the micromanaging has gotten so awful. Down to the minute you must be scheduled correctly. I have been here for 3 years and have never had a positive review even though our store has exceeded its goals. Doesnt matter to them, they expect more and more. They raise goals constantly and the only answer they have for making sure we hit those goals is no one leaves, even though they can get the same product from a competitor at a much lower cost.
