Great Customer Service skills
Apprentice Optcian (Former Employee), Grove City, OH – January 3, 2013
Pros: right next to great food!
Cons: managment and pay
I was able to gain excellent Customer service experience here! My co workers were amazing, managment turned out to be very unprofessional. The hardest part of being there was when we were short handed and got very busy. Customers dont like to be kept waiting!

Fun place to work, great people
Optician (Former Employee), Bossier City, LA – November 7, 2012
A typical day would be me seeing about 15 people, and help them with their needs. They ranged any where from me fixing there glasses to them buying glasses! My favorite part was when the people getting their glasses back and just loving them! The hardest was to see the people getting glasses they did not want because the could not afford them. The management – more... could have been better, but I loved my co-workers. I have learned patience and hoe to deal with angry people. I have learned tons of optical information! – less

The WORST place I have ever been...
Manager (Current Employee), IN – October 23, 2012
Pros: love working in optics
Cons: missed breaks, low pay, long hours, under-staffed, over-worked, treated like garbage, corporate staff that doesn't know optics from their own rear-ends.
This place was poorly managed, poorly staffed, and most of all... Lacking in integrity. They lie and cheat their people, and they lie and cheat their customers. I don't know how home office would feel about the way their regional manager and district lab managers conduct themselves, or that they would even care. This place is run by Lenscrafter's rejects. – more... Period. In the 2 years with this company, I have seen 5 general managers, and 4 lab managers. Not one left with a positive experience or a nice thing to say about this company. – less

Busy, everyone wants glasses in one hour
Optician (Former Employee), Sherman, TX – September 27, 2012
Pros: i love to help people
Cons: we were under staffed and the wait time was too long for our patients
On a typical day at work i would help on average anywhere from 10 to 30 people in an 8 hour shift. My work would range from repairing, adjusting, measuring and fitting glasses.As well as explaining different products to our patients and helping with frame selection. It would very from patient to patient but I did look up insurances and figure patient – more... responsibility. I would fill out all the rx required for the in house lab to process the glasses and take payments. I pulled and filed patient charts when needed. – less

Family-friendly atmosphere and Experienced Staff
Lead Lab Technician (Former Employee), Hattiesburg, MS – June 13, 2012
Pros: family-friendly work environment and perks from boss
Cons: slow pace starts, fast paced endings, busy afternoons, work after hours, owner stalls
Open from 10 to 5 M-T and until 2 on Fridays. Owner is optometrist who is an older man that loves animals. Constantly coming in late to handle his animals. Owner loves to chat with patients and does a very thorough job, but always goes over time. Products are the mid-to-low end products in order to appeal in the price-range of the majority of customers. – more... In-house lab allows most* prescriptions to be ready same-day or the next-day. Only other workers are the manager and lab technician/retail salesmen. Management is very lax, but both doctor and manager look for workers who are self-motivated because of the small staff. Has a great report with the local college and owner goes to all sports events. – less
