Fox-Valley-Ophthalmology

The practice had excellent moral standards and treatment from doctors to patient was superb. However, the practice boasted a very negative work culture. Being employed by Fox Valley Ophthalmology means being subject to poor management that hinders positive work culture and employee morale. Typical day would include measures of here say and bias perspectives that produce short-term results, which overwhelmingly inspire resentment and apprehension to staff and management. Over the long term, it doesn't pay off and that's where the circle keeps on turning. The most enjoyable part of the job was the ability to have a fairly balanced work life and not having to bring work home; retirement benefits weren't bad either. Would not recommend employment if one expects: annual reviews/raises, positive work culture and fair management.

Always busy, productive. Working for an Ophthalmology practice I learned a lot about eye diseases, to all types of lens materials contact lenses, and insurance benefits.
It was great to work with very knowledgeable co-workers always willing to help me improve my skills.
A few times it was hard for me to encounter situations that I  was not familiar with such as eye conditions or measuring some lens prescription that required special needs (prisms). 
Over the time my co-worker became some of my best friends up to this date.

Busy practice that can keep you on your toes.  Must walk on egg shells around every one as your coworkers are quick to tell management your mistakes. No real schedule so trying to plan for a life outside of work is hard.  Pay is good but no advancement or raises.  According to the administration Susan they "simply don't have the money for raises"

Very busy office so the days will go quickly.  The optical staff is like a family.  We all care about each other and help each other out.  The practice also cares about each employee.  They have office events to help bring the team together.   Nice retirement benefits, insurance package.  Overall a really nice place to work

Small to mid-size practice with MD's, OD's and opticians.  Position consists of greeting patients and maintaining patient database.
Very little opportunity for advancement.  No employee reviews or raises.

Manager plays favorites and if you’re not one of them, you know. Other co-workers likes to act like they runs the place and is very rude when talking to you. Management does nothing. 
Not a great place to work. Uncomfortable work environment. Lots of turnover

Worst job environment I’ve ever worked in.   No respect extended to staff.  Dr. Hefner should retire.   Optical is ok but workers do not work well with rest of the office. Advancement is not encouraged, and a moot point most often due to frequent job turnover

Loved working for FVO. they really care about their patients and respect their employees. Great working conditions and a family atmosphere. Would highly recommend working for this practice.

a typical day would be preparing patients for the doctor by doing a variety of diagnostic test as well as obtaining patients history. The job is very fast-paced. Management is good, just make sure you are doing what is expected of you.

Great place to work at and there is an opportunity to advance into a different role. The only thing is that management in some departments could definitely be better and not all colleagues pull their weight making it a stressful work environment when it doesn't need to be.
