Pros
Opticians can travel to other locations, if they even respond to you and it's local. Thats the only way to get full time hours as a secondary optician here. part time gets 401k, and insurance if you can even afford to keep it. I don't even know if that's a pro.
Kontras
-After 2 months of travel they cut travel comp for me no negotiation, same day warning by out of state manager. Then the regular manager will say you have to travel farther to get it......... -Lack of communication from other locations for needed optician coverage -higher management is out of state for Midwest Meijer and JCPenney brand locations so they will never have an accurate depiction of in store conflict. -Overall poor treatment of the standard of care law in Illinois and forcing blame onto the dispensary optician. -no communication with lens lab at all -OD denial of patients current vision quality, lots of reversion back to old rx's -no overtime despite state laws -no pan tilt, no BVD measuring tools -software issues frequently, small GUI on computer then blames optician -doctor denial of corrected curve formula for high prism and 4.00 power and up application -bad effective diameters and b heights in the computer constantly.
