How much does Costco Opticians make?

[genzcop]

anyone know how much does costco optician makes? i think it's a pretty good place to work considering there are less troubleshooting to deal with.

I say none of us make enough for what we have to deal with.

But, I think they pay rather well. I have heard that from a few Opticians. There was a real good thread about that a while back. I will try to dig it up for you.

You can try to contact a fellow Optiboarder=Nettie. She has worked for them, has managed for them, and has a very good take on them. Maybe PM her for specifics!

In California you have to be ABO and NCLE to work there so I imagine that makes the pay a bit better.

I've also heard they pay above avg. But what makes you think they have less trouble shooting? If you're dispensing lenses, you're gonna be doing some!

Costco pay very good salary to all emplyees. I don't know about opticians but know of a 23 year old women who makes $ 40,000 a year turning hot dogs at the food counter.

Around here, the managing optician makes about $90,000 and the staff opticians make about $65,000.

wow...$90.000 that's far better than optometrists with 8 years of schooling.

There is something wrong if an optometrist is making far less than 90K.

Don't get too excited, I think the Cannadians have some sort of laws about the opticians have to know what they are doing.:D

You don't have to know what you're doing. You just have to take a 6 month course in BC. (just kidding tmorse.)

You just have to pay your $800 a year to the College of Regulated Opticians Of Kanada. Otherwise known as the CROOK office.

My tool of choice is a butter knife....what say you?

My goodness - $65k/year???? I think that maybe less than 1% of managing opticians in AZ make that.
