Pros

Benefits are good including glasses allowance, birthday off and standard annual leave time. The company model is good and patients make the job ok.

Cons

Career path isn’t that great. If your into optical, audiology or retail then there’s a pathway for you but if you want to branch into corporate there’s no bridges opportunities. Poor and rude management, frustration within the team due to constant lack of staff, Rotas are not released promptly, so you can’t really plan your life ahead (unless you work in an organised store) and the store gets really busy and it’s physically and mentally exhausting. The pay is minimum wage and for what you have to deal with the compensation package should be better.
