Congrats,
It's an optician based company and nice to see there are still creative individuals out there not only taking the risk, but able to flourish despite the sluggish economy.
Hakim has laid off 45 employees (some opticians, mostly lab technicians) along with LensCrafters.
I wish you the best of success!
Thanks, all! It's pretty exciting. Not often one has the opportunity to join a progressive (sorry) growing company and get in near the ground floor. We've been SMOKIN' busy, even this close to Xmas. Retailed over $50K in our first 3 days. Fer Shizzle, yo!
'Course, I haven't had a day off in over a month, and been doing 16 hours days each day...
Weird to say, but I've missed retail dispensing. This industry has so many facets (sorry again) and I've performed in most of them, but I do have to say retail dispensing is the MOST REWARDING. Working ophthalmology is just dealing with people nearly dead, or, only going blind. Education/ administration was nothing but politics. The lab is monotonous (as is refracting day in, day out). Retail dispensing??? LOVE IT. MISSED IT.
You may p!$$ and moan about the hours and the customers, but there's nothing better than dispensing those first pair of plus 3's to a 2 year-old, and changing her world; or solving the guy's (who could be your dad) constant neck ache by noting his TRIfocals are fit lower than a normally fit BIfocal; or helping the attractive young lady pick out a nice pair for the office for her 1/4D correction; or schooling (in a good and a bad way) your fellow Registered Optician on something as simple as Snell's Law; and I could go on and on, and every job in the world has sh!tty people to deal with- suck it up.
The hours are actually better than the 8- 5 I've been doing for the last dozen years in education and then ophthalmology. I get a day or two to sleep in, or go get stuff done without the crowds, or just a day off to myself without the wife and kids around!
But I digress.
