Pros

Great colleagues Easy to learn products as it’s company owned lenses and frames

Cons

High employee turnover - store is practicing hire and rehire so staffs are not valued New staffs receiving better training or wages than previous ones Lack of career progression or progressing to delay pay increase by promising the increase can only be done after completing progression though you’ve worked there for 3 to 5 years No performance review to discuss pay Making decision without discussing with staffs such as to have them work at their other branches although that’s not in the contract and changing working hours. Low pay and discussion to increase pay is thought of as ‘blackmail’ and usually people just quit Colleagues in management role getting away with slacking off in staff rooms upstairs Not allowed to call in sick but you must inform if you’re calling in sick and get scolded over the phone Untrustworthy management as private discussions will ended up known by every staffs in store. Male dominated management - lack of gender diversity
