There are cons too. You have to work weekends and don't have a voice in staffing decisions. I mentioned two of my friends make good money, but most optometrists at Costco don't make nearly that much. It all depends on location.

Don't like that you have to buy a package of 30 exams. But it's cheaper per exam

It works for us because we have a big family and a package of 30 pretty much

TNT is going to guess the glasses they give you are enormous but cheap

I bet its a great choice if you don't want the burden of running a practice.
