Pros

If you have zero experience or in desperate need of a job, you can definitely get your foot in the door here. Don’t expect much after that.

Cons

Welcome to the bottom... Turnover was SO BAD that employee stats was not shared last year. I challenge you to ask about the turnover at OpticsPlanet. The best candidates don’t get hired as the pay is WAY below for comparable jobs. There is 100% job security as lazy employees don’t get fired. Talented employees don’t get rewarded unless your of Russian descent so mediocrity often sets in. Managment positions and higher level positions are often held by the family members and close friends of the founders. Gossip about poor treatment of employees spread rapidly through the grapevine which further reduces morale. Managers cannot be trusted at this company. They have mastered the art of lying and often dangle invisible carrots above your head. The company’s workforce is shrinking rapidly and positions are often being combined to save $$$ so there are no promotion opportunities. It seems like every week, 1 to 3 people have given their resignation.
