What is it like working as an Optician Apprentice?
November 2019
Great Work Environment - Lacking in Pay.
Optician Apprentice in Kathleen:
Pros: I love the customer interactions, helping customers select frames and working with them to find glasses/contacts that fit their needs and budget. I also love the team of people I work with, it is very close. Everyone is very nice, and the management at my particular location is wonderful.
Cons: I think the pay is lacking. I have quite a bit of customer service experience and at my previous 3 jobs was making $11-$12 an hour. Here I am only getting $10.50. We only get raises once a year and our "commission" aka PIP is only 1%. I am great at sales, one day I did over $3k, it was 40% of the stores sales for the day with a team of 5 sales people. Yet, since we only get 1% I only got $30 from that. I feel as though my fast learning and great sales aren't being recognized since I won't even be considered for a raise for another 8 months.
