Anne
Tell us about yourself and what you do at eyes + more.
My name is Anne, and like so many others, I came to eyes + more as a career changer. I started here right after completing my degree in biology. At the time, I was actually just looking to bridge the time between my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Today I am Senior Retail Manager DE North, and I spend most of my time on the road visiting my stores. I make sure the stores have everything they need so they can operate smoothly.
What has been your best experience at eyes + more?
There have been many highlights along the way. One of my high points was in my first store as Store Manager, when our store won the internal “Shopping Queen Challenge”. As a prize, all store employees were given 444 euros to go shopping in the city centre. Afterwards, we held a team fashion show in which we selected our own Shopping Queen. It was a great experience for the entire team!
