What do you like best about the leadership team?
The leadership team lives the organization's values! This results to a team that highly values their jobs not just as an employee but as part of a family that's building together to achieve a common goal in a very positive work environment.

Energy, intellect, care & concern for associates
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Taking the time to develop their tenured employees in order to set them up for long-term success. There is also a lack of prioritization when it comes to the company's goals, it's very unclear how individual's day-to-day contribute to those goals as well.

Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Higher pay to validate hard work
Review from Sales Dept
I appreciate the opportunity that I have been given. This no way reflects poor feelings towards the company. I just feel that the amount of pay for the amount of responsibility as a manager seems low. I think the pay should reflect the importance of running a multi-million dollar store or stores.
Review from Operations Dept
I feel completely fine at Visionworks.
Review from Sales Dept
Better benefits, higher salary, more time-off are things that would be helpful
Review from IT Dept
Sometimes it seems as if tenure and gained experience over the years go unnoticed especially when you have new hires who come in and are offered higher competitive market pay. I think regular evaluations of job titles should be analyzed and rated fairly across the board.

Review from Sales Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Stop defending their own work/processes/style and start working towards one perfect way to execute.
the people that I work with in my store are great, but some of the associates from other stores really need to be trained more in optical knowledge.
Review from Sales Dept
Visionworks has gone through a lot of change and is continuing to transform. Some people may not be comfortable with change, or may not trust leadership.
We have a great team. Our Supervisor is new to the organization and seems to be unengaged with our team.
Review from HR Dept
My coworkers were great, it was the companies policies that I did not agree with
Review from Sales Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The employees are human and lives to its organization's values. I am fairly new to the company but I have seen how positive the culture is because I have seen that everyone is genuinely happy that they work for Visionworks! Everyone is equipped, willing and genuine!
Review from HR Dept
I love the culture of Be Simple. Be Bold. Be Human. I think that is what drew me to the company. It's a simple, but those three things are a daily reminder that if we follow those three rules, we will be surrounded by good people doing good things.
Review from HR Dept
We like to have fun. The CEO has a good sense of humor. The company honors family time and work life balance
ELT believes in #ONETEAM. thats my vision on what i want our whole territory to be
Review from Sales Dept
We value each other and respect each other
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Quit with the platitudes. There is fighting at the top executive level behind the scenes but it trickles down and is felt everywhere. Managing so many egos that are fake is exhaistinf
Hire people with better behaviors and manners, not just bring people to add a body with low pay.
Review from Sales Dept
Communication with,everyone listen to employees ideas
Review from Operations Dept
Understand that the employees at the store level deal with all the issues that happen behind the scenes and we're the ones that are dealing with upset patients. Having the company show us the appreciation by allowing us to showcase support for our teams e.g. having the company provide lunch etc
Review from Sales Dept
I am satisfied with the culture and believe it is getting better all the time.
What did you like most about the interview process?
It is highly interactive and personable. I was able to meet the people and leaders that I will be working with. The structure of the questions does not feel restricted which gives you freedom to be yourself while learning about the people and the company.
Review from HR Dept
Multilple interviews with different leaders gave a good perspective of what it is like to work here
it was a fast and efficient interview process
Great conversations about my skills and goals
Immediate response to my application and I felt they were really excited to have me start.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
This one falls on the GMs again.
Being truthful of what will happen when you work here. That your on call 24/7 and it's extremely difficult to plan a life around your role.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Sometimes I feel like there's no growth with my position. Same task everyday and there's a lack of change when change is needed.

Quit being redirected by new ideas. The needs are simple, more people, more training, better quality and better systems. Corporate over complicates the needs
Not enough optical people running an optical company
