Pros

You are able to pay all your bills while working here, there’s no need for a second job

Cons

Everything else is a con besides the pay. For some odd reason you cannot take vacations during the summer months, they deny PTO that you’ve scheduled in advance. They will even go as far as firing you due to you taking that PTO that you’ve already scheduled. As a manager you will never be able to have a life. So if you’re thinking about family vacations, watching your wife birth your child, getting married, cruises, etc… you CANNOT and I mean CANNOT take off. As a manger, your staff is automatically unreliable and when you are finally burnt out, you will receive the backlash. Your staff will be unable to cover you and your supervisor can’t help because 9 times out of 10 they live in a completely different state than you. So if you’re mentally exhausted, sick and dying plus you are without any staff to cover you then you must stay at your job so the thieves don’t steal the sunglasses. Once again, if you value your sanity please avoid this job. If I could rate work/life balance a ZERO I would do it in a heartbeat.

Pros

You get 2 free pairs in a year. (You have to pass probation before)

Cons

This is the most disgusting company I've ever worked for they treat their employees like absolute crap, they are very arrogant and demanding, you must sell a certain amount in a certain amount or hours, in summer time it's not too bad but in winter it's near enough impossible, the whole company is corupt. They belittle you if you don't reach store targets which are set way too high, they use staff while on their probation then fail it and get another staff members in so they don't have to give you anything. They pay barely minimum wage, if you're 16-18 you're paid £5.65, 18 -2+ - 8.65 21+ 11.44 which is only if the manager decides that's what th3y want to pay you because they pick and choose what to pay you, I honestly wouldn't waste your time. They have a commission scheme which is near enough impossible, they make staff work straight after surgery, they cut all the hours randomly, they're never happy with how much money you make. The area managers and regional managers treat all management like garbage, they pressure them and tell them they will loose their jobs if target isn't met all the timethe training is a joke, they make up reasons to fire people for no reason . I personally resigned because of these reasons and I highly recommend look else where. This job will ruin your mental health and you will become burnt out
