Pros
You do get good training in the optical world... Most people on the store level have fantastic work ethic and try to be the best they can be. Most struggle alot and care about trying to fulfill corporate expectations. They are very knowledgeable about product. You will meet people whose work ethic you will admire....but....
Kontras
Cutting hours is my main qualm..how can you plan a budget for your family this way, and then they expect you to work like a mad dog to fulfill 2000$ sales goals. Overall I feel taken advantage of, its not a give and take. Its a take and take. The pay is lousy for what it takes out of you mentally, coupled with the knowledge that other jobs would pay more for you to do less. By one year , I am totally burnt out and resentful. And I was a good employee who hit my daily sales goals and was courteous and profesional.
