Answered 14 March 2019Make sure directors are actually doing their job, our director at the stourbridge branch sits upstairs all day and does half a job, like telling patients he will call them back and doesn't or not bothering to put orders through correctly, cutting corners in the process, resulting in unhappy patients and making the specsavers brand look bad, also pay different staff more for higher roles as a meet and greeter gets paid the same as an optical assistant or a dispensing optician.

At the store I work in we have axa insurance, so once a year you can have one pair specs or sunnies and it's discounted down to £105, we can then claim that back from axa, so we get them free. Also friends and family get 50% discount. The axa and specs are really great benefits, we have generous directors in that respect.
