Licensed Optician

April 2012 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I love that I get to help people pick out the glasses they need and seeing the patient's face light up when they are able to see clearly.

What I wish was different

Working in an optical department within a Costco warehouse brings more traffic than working at a Dr's Office or optical store. Stress levels can be higher since there are more patients to take care of and more problems can arise.

Advice

Working for Costco, you will work for your money. They pay very well and have great benefits but you do have to earn it.
