Pros

Great place to work if you enjoy doing 10 minute eye tests in a closet without ventilation. Excellent pay and benefits if you're willing to exchange your soul - you'll need the money to pay for therapy. Good work/life balance for anyone who likes living an illusion.

Cons

This is a company that commodifies optometry and uses cost-cutting measures to churn out low quality products in a high-volume model under the guise of "budget-friendly eyewear." And now they're doing the same to audiology. They belittle optometrists and attract unassuming graduates using generous bonuses but then refuse to increase their salary. There is no career progression, you can count on being a refraction monkey for the rest of your career. They'll try to convince you that a joint-venture partnership is a fulfilling pathway but we all know that the only people you're helping are the billionaire CEOs who live in a tax haven. During the pandemic, they received $92 million in JobKeeper payments while their profits doubled. Like every other corporation, they lobby the government and sponsor universities to push their money-making agendas.
