About 1-800 Contacts

Collectively, we’re a bunch of smart, hard-working people who like to look out for each other and our customers. We’re really driven by the idea that we’re each empowered to find new solutions and create better experiences. For example, our call center associates don’t have to “check with their manager” before solving a customer’s problem. They can just…take care of the customer. This type of common-sense trust and responsibility are found throughout the entire company. Also, our mascot is an eyeball with arms and legs named Seemore so, yeah, there’s definitely a quirky, fun side to our hard work, too. Benefits Our founder said, “If we take care of our associates, they’ll take care of our customers.” It’s proven to be true. In addition to (extremely) competitive medical, dental, 401k, life/disability plans, associates also get: - Flexible paid time off - Free vision clinic - Free on-site gym - Free personal training in said gym - Wellness incentives (get paid for smart life choices) - On-site grille with heavily discounted meals (steak dinners for $3) - Free cereal, ice cream, snacks, and drinks - Tuition reimbursement - Steep discounts on contacts and glasses - Company events you’ll actually want to attend (and can bring friends and family to) Company parties and eating lunch together are only perks if you like the people you’re working with. And, we know it’s cliché, but we really have good people here who genuinely enjoy working with each other. You'll like it here. Community We've often been asked, "What is your culture?" Our response is simple, "It's people taking care of people." Whether it's our customer, our associate or our community, this principle is central to who we are. What an awesome opportunity to show support to our local firefighters with these donations! Their service is very much appreciated! https://www.facebook.com/Z104Country/videos/2048221945187881/ Associate Comments “There are SO many things that friends and family are jealous of about my job here at 1-800 CONTACTS. The onsite restaurant, the fitness center, the extensive wellness program, free breakfast, free movies during the film festivals, an elaborate summer party, and all the incredible events put on make this company so much fun to work for. I tell everyone I associate with that I have my dream job, and I do.” --Joleen Glassett, Health & Wellness Program Coordinator “1-800 CONTACTS utilizes middle management very well. The heart and soul of the company is a group of smart, creative thinkers who just get things done. The Executive Leadership team relies on the Managers and Associate Directors to make decisions and execute ideas without having to be micro-managed. Few companies have a core team that compliments the Executive Leadership team so well.” --Molly Zarbock, Associate Controller “The thing I like most about 1-800 CONTACTS are my coworkers. They make coming to work every day enjoyable and it’s great to be a part of something where everyone understands and is working towards the same goals.” --Eric Farmer, Marketing Manager “The Film Festivals and big parties constantly surprise my family and friends. Most people see their work places as a paycheck and nothing more. This company has a real family feel. I belong to something bigger than myself or my immediate responsibilities. --Brenna Minor, Reception “I was actually going to turn down the offer because I really liked the company where I was at. However, three different people in 1-800 management called me and asked if I had any questions, and showed more interest in me as a person than I had ever received at my old company. I would say that this has remained true, that 1-800 cares more about their employees than the majority of the companies out there. I have had other opportunities and offers, but have stayed almost 10 years now because of how I am treated, taken care of, and the team we are all a part of.” --Mark Ballstaedt, IT Director “One aspect of our company that really stands out to me is our dedication to continuing the development and training of our employees. I have never worked for a company that offers so many opportunities to learn and develop your skills. I have taken advantage of many of these programs and they have helped me tremendously to gain the professional skills and traits that any employer would be looking for.” --Brian Petersen, Corporate Trainer “What was I most excited about? The fact that 1-800 actually walked the walk. I’ve never worked for a company that has such a strong culture and undeviating loyalty to its associates and customers.” --Dustin Dipo, Call Center Manager
