Pros

Working here has been a genuinely rewarding experience, and a big part of that comes down to the company's core values. Being Big Hearted, Tenacious, Unconventional, and Better Together aren't just words on a wall — they're lived out every day in how we treat each other and approach our work. This is a place that truly believes in giving opportunities to everyone, regardless of where you're starting from. I've seen firsthand how the company invests in its people and opens doors that might not exist elsewhere. The team here is something special. My coworkers are collaborative, supportive, and genuinely fun to be around. And the leadership? They set a strong example — approachable, clear, and consistent. One thing I really appreciate is always knowing what's expected of me. There's no guessing game, which makes it so much easier to do my best work and grow in my role. Overall, this is a place where you feel valued, challenged, and supported all at once. I'm proud to be part of this team.

Cons

Pros

Shareholder Payout, managers, time off

Cons

The pay isn’t worth the amount of abuse we take from customers (you wouldn’t think people were actually rude about contact lenses but they are), training wasn’t great as they pushed heavily on what to know about the company and basic knowledge of how vision works but, for a sales job you’d think they train you on how to actually sale and what they expect from you in that aspect along with quotas but instead you are thrown in the wolves and are completely at a loss when you get a write up after your first month because you aren’t selling enough but again in training your tough basic stuff and nothing about the selling part or expectations. Also, there is no room to grow or to get raises which managers have stated that there isn’t a way to really move up in the company but during hiring they say you can? Really sucks to be deceived. Not worth it in this economy to live off of $15 hourly and the stress that comes behind quotas and lack of training.
