Pros
Most Lenscrafters stores are open retail hours, providing a flexible range of shifts. It's a retail employer that allows you to feel a little more prestigious when compared to other retail/mall brands.
Cons
You start off enjoying what you do while learning how it works. Eventually you realize that the company lacks consistency, that the emphasis is put solely on that of bottom line profit, and that you are expendable. The product is constantly changing, and the prices consistently grow higher. You're groomed to take advantage of your client base in ways that would make good people feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, the way that goals are set make it impossible to achieve results consistently. The incentives programs change more than anything; you're required to make a monthly goal in order to receive a less than substantial incentive. The problem is in setting goals. Everytime you're able to achieve results, instead of being rewarded, you're punished by the following months unobtainable goals. You're expected to create more out of less- and you're forced to scare away your client base. You have no voice at Lenscrafters, and you will eventually feel like you've been drained of your energy, your happiness, and your life.
