Work Flexibility.
Optician:
Pros: The people I work with are amazing. I love interacting with patients and helping them pick out glasses.
Cons: The management is really passive and we never know what we are supposed to do.
April 2016
Optician:
Make certain your employer honest get all benefits and pay rate in writing.
In this profession be aware there are huge variances in pay ensure you are paid what you are worth and equal to all those who work the same skill sets.
If employer offers to pay for your school and licensing get it in writing.
Question any licensing requirements that varies from the courses taken.
Question what licensing entails and if licenses are there only to profit for those issuing the license .

Be prepared to learn everything there is to know about glasses, and apply what you've learned. Technology is always advancing so you have to keep up and do your own research sometimes.
