Pros

You will get stress with limited budget and resource. Motivate yourself to find new job!

Cons

Whatever you sacrificed your personal time just helping top management to secure their high pay and benefit!

Pros

Good benefits. 401(k) match is as good as you'll find. Good pay for the area

Cons

If they decide to lay you off and your severance will be substantial, they will just make up a reason to fire you instead. Then they tell companies where you apply that they would not rehire you, which just adds insult to injury. Personal relationships figure into advancement way more than knowledge, effort, and results do, so make sure you socialize with your superiors. Be cold to your peers, though, or you may find yourself the subject of an unpleasant discussion.

Poor Leadership

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Have some great reps and district managers, but higher than that……

Cons

The only vision care company who has some type of restructure and or layoff every year or two. I would be ad used that top management (regional director and above) does not care about people that work here or of the accounts. They are completely focused on their own opportunities!
