All About Eyes

Earn $20-26/hr (base pay + incentives) - retail and customer-service pros, this is your next career.

A career where your work actually matters

Every day, you'll help someone see their child's face clearly, get back on the road safely, or walk out feeling like themselves in a new pair of frames. Opticianry gives you the pace and personality of retail with the credibility of a healthcare profession.

No optical experience? Good.

Some of our strongest opticians came to us from selling phones, jewelry, cosmetics, shoes, furniture, or appliances - or from waiting tables and running a front desk. If you know how to read a customer, ask the right questions, recommend with confidence, and hit a number, you already have the hardest part of this job. We'll train you into a profession.

Join the All About Eyes team

Teamwork: experience what being a part of the All About Eyes team feels like. Be inspired by your leaders, encouraged and supported by your teammates, and be part of a community of outstanding professionals ready to guide you in your career.

Learning + Development: eye care is an exciting and rewarding career that combines optical knowledge and skill with style and customer service. Whether you're new to optics or bring experience from another field, we'll give you the tools to become an industry expert - with mentorship and a real path to leadership. 95% of our managers were promoted from within.

Total earning potential: $20-26/hr+. Our Optician roles start with a guaranteed $17/hr base, plus a commission and bonus structure built to be earned, not chased - most opticians add another $3-9/hour on top of base as they grow into the role.

We work hard to embrace diversity and inclusion and encourage everyone at All About Eyes to bring their authentic selves to work every day. We offer a variety of programs and benefits to help our team live their best life, including:

401(k) with up to 4% company match

Medical, Dental, Life Insurance, and Vision Coverage

Paid Time Off, Paid Sick Time, and Paid Holidays - including a float holiday to celebrate a day that matters to you

On-Demand Pay - access your pay early, right from your phone

Employee Assistance Program

Paid training and certifications/renewals

Individual and team incentives

What You'll Do

Your role as an Optician is to help patients find the best options in frames and lenses for their lifestyle, and make professional recommendations so they achieve their best vision. Day to day, that looks like:

Answering phones and scheduling appointments

Verifying insurance benefits and calculating patient responsibility

Selecting and ordering eyewear for patients

Making small repairs and adjustments to eyeglasses

Delivering a best-in-business patient experience from start to finish

Supporting your team by communicating effectively and working toward shared goals
