DECEMBER 13, 2013 | STEVEN SQUIRES
At Local Eye Site, we really appreciate all of our great employers. Every month, one employer is highlighted as a Featured Employer to give you - the job seeker - a little more insight into the types of employers who are hiring in the eye care industry. Whether it’s a new company looking to hire for the first time, an established employer who’s been around the hiring block once or twice, or a well-known company with ongoing hiring needs - they all have one thing in common: They need quality people like YOU to get the job done! Check back here each month for a new featured employer, but first allow us to introduce this month’s Local Eye Site featured employer:
Ophthalmic Consultants of Long Island is the largest ophthalmology practice on Long Island with over 25 eye doctors and 9 locations throughout Nassau & Suffolk counties. Their purpose is to provide each patient with exceptional ocular care, fulfilled by constantly pursuing and retaining excellence in two areas: People & Technology. But when it comes to working at OCLI, what's in it for you? Here are some of the reasons why OCLI is an excellent consideration for your next career endeavor.
1. They Stay Relevant
One of benefits of working for a large ophthalmology practice like OCLI is that with larger organizations, the resources are generally available to advance the organization in both talent and technology. OCLI boasts state-of-the-art medical facilities, housing the most advanced technology available to offer patients a variety of ophthalmic services and treatments, including routine eye examinations and sophisticated LASIK surgery. They also hire the most qualified and dedicated staff members for the job, so there's no question of whether or not it's a great place to work. These are the things that will keep patients coming back, and will only bring value to your résumé should you choose to work for them.
2. They Serve The Community
Community service is oftentimes the one thing that is overlooked by job seekers when trying to determine their next career move. Working for an eye care organization that sets some time aside to focus on the needs of their community will not only give you a break from the challenges of your job, but it will also make you feel good about yourself in the process. At OCLI, community service is an integral part of what they do, mainly because the community in which they operate is close to their hearts (I mean, it's even in their name!). Working for an organization that serves their neighbors, like OCLI does, is an excellent career decision - one that's not to be overlooked in the job search process.
3. They Treat You Right!
Our final reason for why OCLI is a great career choice for your next eye care job is that they're the type of organization that treats you - the employee - right. Unlike most organizations, OCLI offers a highly favorable employment experience coupled with competitive compensation and benefits packages. The range of options with regards to employee benefits include:
- Medical
- Dental
- Short-Term and Long Term Disability Insurance
- Term Life Insurance
- Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance
