Pros

Consistent and Helpful information from main office Great intro training for new associates Still able to help customers look good without breaking their bank

Cons

50 hour minimum work week for salaried managers If you work over 50 hours...Oh well! No comp time as in other opticals Salary about 30-35% less than same posiition in competitor's business Work never "good enough" You could be running 25% over last year in sales and making most internals and upper management will ALWAYS focus on the negative More paperwork than any other company I have ever worked for...

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
