Pros

Salary. Technicians and sales staff can be helpful in delegating tasks. Equipment and office supplies are provided and in most offices equipment are well maintained.

Cons

Even with equal number of years of experience female optometrists are paid less than male optometrists. Pay and bonus based upon number of patients seen per day. Brief patient care time means more bonus dollars. Requests for vacation can be denied and requesting days off requires weeks in advance notice. Paid annual CE is adequate however the food included is mediocre buffet or sandwiches with one special dinner night (chicken or steak) with the 600 K salaried CEO, CFO, and several VPs.
