Pros

I have been at Eyefinity since 2000 and truly enjoy the company and the marketplace we serve. One of our strongest attributes is that we are owned by a great company: VSP Global. This ownership structure gives us a long-term investment mindset to do the right thing for our customers. We also strive hard to create exciting professional growth opportunities for our team, and along the way create a compelling practice management/EHR platform for the optical industry.

Cons

I've worked hard to create an open company with transparent dialog. I am about as accessible a president as you will find, and I care greatly for our people. Without great people in the company, we won't create the future. I'm saddened to see some of the reviews of my company on glass door. I respect people's desire to be anonymous, and will take all of these comments to heart. However, I can be much more effective to initiate change for the better with a direct dialog. Know that your opinions and perspectives matter to me and I welcome the chance to speak direct with you. I'll buy the coffee!

Pros

Some good restaurants in walking distance.

Cons

Eyefinity has a very hierarchical structure consisting of a handful of golden boys whom others treat as though they can do no wrong even as their offhand opinions add months of needless complexity to your projects without adding any real value. It has managers plying weird and worthless management fads, and gleefully inflicting petty acts of vengeance on the best people there until their victims finally get fed up and quit (and no, I don't mean me -- but I did see it happen personally). The software release processes are baroque and onerous "so we won't accidentally break something", but that doesn't prevent others from accidentally breaking things for you -- welcome to your emergency today! The result is a gig worthy of that hypothetical unfortunate who likes cleaning up after someone else's disaster but doesn't enjoy the risks and low pay associated with being a literal fire-fighter. Your time is spent doing production support and disaster management, in addition to perhaps 20% maintenance. If there are any real development projects going on they'll be outsourced. You'll get to manage those mishaps too if they make it to production, but the good news is that many of those projects are such catastrophes that they'll never see the light of day. The same managers who can't lead you in a development effort can't lead a contracting team either, even if they did have the good sense not to hire the same failed teams over and over again, which they don't. Is it all bad, doom and gloom, stay away at any cost? Well, if you have other options, run, don't walk to Dice.com or your favorite tech job board and exercise them. On the other hand, if you're about to loose your house or something, you could probably stand it for a year if your expectations are low enough.

Pros

Stable industry, always hiring and expanding, global company. Great people work for this company. Generious vacation package. Education resources on campus. Lots of healthy lifestyle choices at your fingertips, fresh farm produce delivered weekly that you order for home use. Excercise classes , supportive livestyle changes like Weight Watchers. The list goes on and on.

Cons

The benefits are good but if your constantly overworked and have deadlines to meet how can you take advantage . The job your hired to do is never the job you end up doing. Change is expected and happens everyday . It's almost impossible to stay on track without working 10-12 hours a day . Getting burned out is fast and furious here. We've lost so many hardworking people because of this . Work is what you do is should never become who you are. Taking a vacation is great until you get back. Everyday is like the first day due to constant changes, updates . Learning anything new happens as your doing it. No time to train or become proficent
