I would like to start out by saying that my comments will most likely sound biased. I thought that Wilson, OD was a god send. There are not too many employers out there who will hire a pregnant woman. My wife and I have had a lot of bad luck the past few years, I am a Hoosier veteran always gone for military reasons, we have lost 2 children and have had very few decent job opportunities because of the economy. My wife recently lost her job with Wal-Mart because our doctor gave her work restrictions, this forced her to file for unemployment with the state because I don’t make enough with my current job. This is where Wilson OD came into our picture. At first it seemed like this was going to be an excellent employer, my wife did not hide the fact that she was pregnant and was still offered a job. But after 2 weeks of working with them she was let go, the reason being because she was not friendly enough and did not know a lot of their customers on a more personal level. I personally do not think that it was because she was pregnant but I also know how the world works and that most employers will not say that to an employee in fear of all the consequences involved with admittance. We both thought that “well what can you do we tried” and my wife tried to get back on unemployment from when she was with Wal-Mart, all the unemployment office had to do was contact Wilson, OD to verify her cause of termination. We got a call back from the unemployment office some time later to tell us that Wilson, OD stated they let my wife go because she was rude and was disrespectful to their customers, there comments completely floored us! My wife was never given any such warning, documentation, nor was made aware that she had an attitude problem. My wife and I are now in an extremely disadvantages position with a child on the way and hardly enough income to pay the bills. I do not recommend Wilson, OD there dishonest remarks not only will affect my wife and I, but our soon to be child.
