Terrible treatment from management, but only because they're getting from above. - EyeCare Supervisor LensCrafters Employee Review

Pros

The group that I worked with were very seasoned individuals and knew what they were talking about. It was very helpful in training a new employee, or help troubleshoot.

Cons

The company as a whole, treats their employees terribly. If you think you can work your way up, YOU'RE WRONG. They don't want to pay you accordingly, even after becoming licensed, and they'd rather hire management with NO optical experience. It was hard to trust your management's decisions when you had more optical knowledge than they did. And trying to get a full time position? Good Luck!

Pros

when I first started it was a very employee based company. Great discounts, great benefits. Regional managers were swift to help if we had questions and offer support

Cons

Since last year the environment has changed vastly. They no longer care about the employees and only want results. They have raised prices and insurances dont cover as well as they used to and they expect the managers to just force people to buy. If you dont make your monthly goals youre put on a PIP and the Regionals are constantly threatening you to make them. The work life balance does not exist. There is a group chat with your fellow store managers hosted by the Regional and if its your day off they still expect a response. I know it comes from the top down but the micromanaging has gotten so awful. Down to the minute you must be scheduled correctly. I have been here for 3 years and have never had a positive review even though our store has exceeded its goals. Doesnt matter to them, they expect more and more. They raise goals constantly and the only answer they have for making sure we hit those goals is no one leaves, even though they can get the same product from a competitor at a much lower cost.
