LensCrafters sucks----that is the lesson to be learned here. My husband has been working for LensCrafters for a long time and keeps getting the shaft for various reasons.

Let's talk about paid-time off. It's September and I took a week off in the earlier part of the year. I wished to take a PTO day last week due to inclement weather that passed through town and closed the whole city down. In fact, everyone put in for a PTO day. When I got my check, it was short by a day. So was everyone else's. The company claims that nobody can take a PTO day until it is earned. This is interesting because this policy changed sometime over the last two years, but the company failed to send out a memo or anything. Evidently, everyone in the company was raising hell, and the company HR reps basically said, "too bad." So, at the end of the year, when the busiest season rolls around, guess what? All of the LensCrafters employees will be on vacation becasue they have EARNED IT BY THEN. Ha ha. This company sucks. I've never heard of such a thing. If you have 80 hours of PTO, you have 80 hours! No ifs ands or buts!
What a joke.

On top of that, the company keeps laying off people because it says they are in financial troubles, but the company execs are still flying high in their company jets and are partying like rock stars. Meanwhile, hard working employees like myself have fought tooth and nail to get a decent pay raise. In fact, last year they gave me less than a TEN CENT pay raise. What an insult. If I wasn't in school right now, I'd quit. Pathetic.

#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds

The PTO should have been allowed

AUTHOR: Josh - (U.S.A.)

I was a former emplyee of Lenscrafters and Sears Optical up to May 2008. When I was there, you were allowed to have a negative balance on your PTO I believe the limit was no more than 2 weeks over. They should have given the PTO on the paycheck.

This company is indeed heading into a downward spiral. Dont be too surprised if Luxottica shuts down some of its Pearle Vision and Sears Optical stores down the road unless things improve
