Denver, CO

Current Employee – been working at Luxottica full-time for more than 10 years

ProsGreat benefits, vacation and holiday pay when you could use it. Fun people to work with. Had the opportunity to meet a lot of executives with the company.

ConsBeing retail, could not spend time with family during any holidays like I wanted. Not much advancement above the store level. Single coverage at times depending on your location.

Advice to Senior ManagementAs with all companies, upper management needs to listen to those in the stores more.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Luxottica part-time for more than a year

ProsVery easy work days, not too much business. Works off of commission so its almost like a game when you are selling.

ConsEasy work days get way too long. Managers did not go to school for retail and you are at the mercy of them. Low pay.

Advice to Senior ManagementGet new managers who are able to run stores. I am only a mangement student and I could do a better job.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Mason, OH

Current Employee – been working at Luxottica full-time for more than 3 years

ProsI started out in Sunglass Hut as a Sales Associate. After I graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree in HR, I was immediately hired into the HR department. Since then I've moved into a new HR role. Definitely appreciate the growth opportunities.

ConsOftentimes people believe that our product is overpriced. It would be nice to provide our stores with a line of optical and sun that is a lower price point. This way we could appeal to individuals that value eyewear enough to purchase a high end frame and the individuals that would rather have good quality on a lower budget.

Advice to Senior ManagementYou can't be too open. It would be nice to know more about the conversations being had behind those big glassed in offices.

Grapevine, TX

Former Employee – worked at Luxottica part-time for more than a year

ProsI worked for Sunglass Hut, which is owned and operated by Luxottica. They offer great discounts, benefits and vacation time. Just like an other retail job you can make your own schedule, request time off when needed without seniority. It is a good place to work throughout college.

ConsIf you get one bad secret shopper review you are unable to move up to a higher position. The aspect of secret shoppers is obsolete. Also, like any other retail company there isn't really much of an option to request time off during holiday but that is to be expected.

Advice to Senior ManagementHave different criteria for advancement into higher positions.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
