Pros
Get to meet and help some great customers. You get to learn about optics and develop sales skills. You may also get to work with some great coworkers.
Cons
VERY low pay for entry level associates and below industry average pay for managers. Many stores currently experiencing high turnover and understaffing. Split days off. 45 hour minimum work week for store managers. Managers are expected to personally sell 20%+ of store volume without commission. Annual raises are a joke, often in the 2-3% range for all associates. Very little opportunity for advancement past store manager. No clear career development. It is a "yes" culture where stores are expected to execute on corporate initiatives with little to no input from the store level.
