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.
It may have been this one:

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.

My goodness - $65k/year???? I think that maybe less than 1% of managing opticians in AZ make that.
Hi y'all!
I am still w/Costco, just not in Optical for the moment. In most states you start at $11.00 per hour unless you have an ABO or NCLE certification. If you have one you start at $11.50 and then get premuim pay.....$1 to $11 per hour more depending on your state.....once you get the 2nd license....and both have to be obtained within 3 years of being hired or you can no longer work in the Optical dept. Certain states like Nevada have a huge premium pay of up to $11 an hour MORE than what other states make because of their strict licensing requirements. Managers start at about $55,000.
Less troubleshooting???? I don't know what you mean by that.
Fezz.....I can't believe you still remembered me! I feel so special!:D

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.
Costco is opening up into area. I want to work there. I am well qualified and want to maximize my income potential. What is the best way to get a foot in?
Meet with the Warehouse Director.

Agreed, I have family that works for Costco for many, many years. Talk to the Warehouse manager or assistant manager. Income is pretty damn good, over time, and so are the benefits.
Feel free to ask if ya'll have any more questions, though keep in mind I've never worked optical for them, just front end and membership.
