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.

Pros

Pretty easy work Company is modernizing Friendly environment Most patients are delightful

Cons

They used to be closed on Sunday, but now that's changed Store budgets are divided up between stores in the same district by the DM, which lends itself to favoritism when stores are given their monthly goals If you are the only LDO, you may end up working a LOT until you are able to find a second LDO
