Pros

Patients adorable and many of the colleagues

Cons

Despicable management. Lying, cheating, overselling to poor vulnerable patients. Certain opticians sold their soul and oversold massively to vulnerable people allowing them to get their hopes up on seeing again so they could earn more commission Same ones did not refer when needed but wrote on record px declined referral to cover their backs. These menaces will be perfect managers at OC.

Pros

I have been working for The Outside Clinic now for over 20 years and have seen many positive changes and advancements over the years. I've worked with a great bunch of colleagues over my time here, some of whom have become life-long friends. If you put the hard work in, you get the appreciation of a good job well done! The company are always keen for employees to progress their career and that could be in your current department, or there could be an opportunity to transfer to another department and move into a completely different role. Great discount on glasses that increases with length of service. Treat Days awarded every year (if no sickness absence).

Cons

Opportunity to purchase more holidays would be good!

Pros

It was a great company with excellent aftercare and customer based provision until it was sold in 2020, it now only concentrates on the sight test. Oversells cheaper, products with no real aftercare, making at least a third of the aftercare staff redundant.

Cons

Being sold to an investment company Optimism Health group, who do not seem understand Domicilary private Eye and Hearing care.
