They tell you one time to bring you in, like you are going to work this many hours, and you are going to work in this area. Well, lies! Then after you take the job and are at the company it seems they just expect you to drive 2-3-4 hours 1 way. So total trip could be 6 hours just driving. But do you get paid for the whole 6 hours, and all that wear and tear on your car, nope! After 2 hours of driving then they will pay you! Not to mention hours are just all over the place, 1 week 30 hours, next week 14. But do they care, heck no! Management was good in the beginning, then a lot of people left. When so many people leave a company you have to wonder is it the people or the company?! It’s this company, that is 100% unappreciative of their employees. They don’t ask you if you mind driving hours on end every single day, they just expect it. Even though when you got hired this was never mentioned! Do they ever just give you a raise because of hard work, nope you will have to ask for one and hope you get it! Also, around holidays don’t expect anything from this company, because they give you nothing. First place I have ever worked where a company gave you nothing for the holidays. Thats how much they appreciate their employees and all their hard work! The only good thing about this job is you can get a good doctor to work with who actually works too, and doesn’t expect you to do absolutely everything. That’s a coin toss though!

Overall you learn a lot if you want experience in optometry but also want exposure to nursing homes/assisted living. Each day you work with a different provider who each has their own way of doing things- it’s just a matter of getting into the groove of things. The day can either drag because it’s slow, or pass really quickly if you’re constantly seeing patients. Expect to carry your equipment with you all day (reading glasses, frames, paperwork, tools, etc). You could drive upwards of 3 hours one way to get to your job site. Few things I did not like: inconsistent hours, poor communication. There were weeks where I would work 30+ hours weekly, then weeks where I worked 15 hours. Some doctors work more than others. Since it’s based in NY, all communication happens via email or phone call. Not at all personable but they also neglect to clearly communicate things to you.

Sightrite is a great company to work for. The management isn’t the kind you don’t see or never hear from. No matter the title all levels of management are involved and in contact with their staff. All of the doctors coordinators technicians and higher ups are all pleasant, encouraging and helpful. It’s a great opportunity for people who like to travel. The job itself is an amazing opportunity to help serve the geriatric community. Sightrite is beyond flexible and accommodating to their staff. There is Room for growth within the company. The company actually takes time out to acknowledge the staff and their hard work and contributions to the company. 

Where to start... Management does not care about you. They will beg and force you to work in unsafe conditions because all they care about is money. Not your health, no benefits, small amount of days off per year (no paid holidays... ZERO).  If you are sick they wont ask how your feeling but when you can get back to work. You wont advance or get a raise... ever. Doesnt matter if you work there for 10 years.  Doctors get paid 30% of revenue from seeing patients.... Thats right. Go into nursing homes hours away, put lots of miles on your car then have to chart, bill, etc.... If you dont see more than 25-30 patients every day expect a call from management.. 

The work is very interesting. It's not your typical job as you work remotely in the field. You have to travel to various nursing homes which can be challenging but its definitely not boring. There is a lot of communication with the office. It's very rewarding to work with the residents of the nursing homes and to make sure they get the attention they deserve. The longer you work there, if you are doing a good job and are reliable you are given opportunities to train other technicians for bonus pay as well as interesting travel assignment which I take when I can, its not required. 

Avoid this job they lie a lot about your hours when you start. They expect so much driving for just a 4 hour shift? Very disorganized too I could never get ahold of someone when I needed help with questions/concerns. The only people that this job may be worth is the optometrist because they don’t do much meanwhile the technician does all the tedious work. The drs call out all the time and sometimes don’t give you a heads up so no work=no pay or a small amount of hours they will approve when there is no work, that you have to keep hounding them about because they “will forget” a lot of things they promised. 

Management was great! I really didn’t want to leave this job but I had to because the doctor called in a lot and eventually quit. They offered to still pay me when the doctor couldn’t work and when they had to look for a different doctor, which was sooo sweet. I agreed to that for a while but it just wasn’t enough to live on so I had to find something else. Do NOT take this job if you don’t like driving long distances all the time or don’t like being in nursing homes dealing with grumpy patients or would get bored just checking vision and pressure all the time. If those things don’t bother you then go for it, overall it’s a good job. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Working at Docrite for the past four years has been a really positive experience. A typical day is focused, steady, and productive, supported by a great team that communicates well.
Management is reliable, respectful, and always clear about expectations. The workplace culture is welcoming, team-driven, and upbeat.
The hardest part of the job can be juggling a busy workload, but the support you get makes it manageable. The most enjoyable part is being part of a team that truly collaborates and celebrates success together. Highly recommend!

This a great customer service based job that truly cares about their employees. I come into work with the upmost confidence that I have the support of my colleagues and supervisors in the case I feel uneasy about something.

I started this role with very little experience, but with the guidance and counselings from my superiors, my professional growth has truly blossomed in the past year.

Even the small victories are celebrated here, and that is something that is rare to come across in this job market.

Sightrite is an amazing company to work for. I have been treated very well as an employee, I feel extremely appreciated and cared about. This company holds several positive traits such as, the flexibility, the pay, the ability to travel, and the warming atmosphere that comes along with being an employee. I have never been so happy with a job before, I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for work, looking to not be stuck in an office all day, or anyone who wants to feel valued as an employee.
