What are the responsibilities and job description for the Optical Associate - Full Time - MKG Vision and White Lake Vision position at MKG Vision?
Optical Associate – Full-Time | MKG Vision & White Lake Vision
We're not looking for optical experience. We're looking for you — the person who walks into a room and makes it better.
If you're naturally outgoing, genuinely love helping people, and have an eye for style, we'll teach you everything else. This is a full-time career role where you'll help patients find eyewear that fits their prescription, their lifestyle, and their personality — and you'll get really good at it.
What makes you a great fit:
- You're a people person, full stop — warm, upbeat, and impossible not to like
- You're detail-oriented and organized; nothing slips through the cracks
- You take initiative and don't wait to be told what to do
- You bring energy to work and it's contagious
What you'll do:
- Welcome patients and create an exceptional experience from the moment they walk in
- Guide frame and lens selections based on prescription, lifestyle, and style
- Educate patients on advanced exam and lens technology
- Schedule appointments, answer phones, and manage detailed documentation
- Explain insurance benefits and help patients maximize their coverage
- Handle the unexpected with patience and a sense of humor
What we offer:
- Monday–Friday, 8:00–5:00 — no weekends, no holidays
- A team that genuinely treats each other like family
- A fun, fast-paced environment with new technology and a loyal patient base
- A real career path, not just a job
Two locations: Downtown Muskegon (MKG Vision) and Whitehall (White Lake Vision). Candidates must be open to working at both.
Optical experience and certification are a plus, but personality wins the interview every time.
Salary : $15 - $21
