Oakley Complaint - Cheap product, Horrible Company
Complaint
FOOTHILL RANCH, CALIFORNIA -- Cheap product, horrible company, horrible people. As an employee of Oakley, I have to comment on this awful company. The product is cheap, yet twice as expensive as what you get for similar brand names with the same quality. The employees at the Foothill Ranch location walk around like their s++t don’t stink, and they are hourly. You can read all the blogs regarding their wanna be military products by real servicemen who complain continuously about how the boots fall apart in only 3 months.
I would advise everyone to do their research before they fork out money to buy their cheap products. Don’t be a walking advertisement for them, and don’t buy into the hype. They claim to listen to the customers, to the employees, and the market. They don’t. They only care about what they think looks cool and some people are willing to sacrifice quality and comfort just to wear Oakley. I read some of the comments, and some people were praising the product despite complaints it poked them!!
Read the blogs before you buy! There are lots of people who dislike the product, the customer service, and the general disregard from a company who pretty much represents a big sphincter. And this is coming from an employee who works there.

Sorry, but I can't take this rant seriously. I think your review would be better received if it didn't seem self-serving. Your observations and opinions could be true, but I wouldn't let them stop me from buying this product. However, the thing that WOULD stop me is the price. I would never buy something so expensive without first doing some research. If your accusations are true, a little research should shed some like on the situation and allow people to make up their own minds.

And you are the exception in that yours doesn't?

Disgruntled ex-employee??
I've owned a few pairs of Oakley sun glasses through the years and they are no longer in my possession because I gave them to friends as gift.. not because they broke or were cheap.

I can believe this. Having had 3 pairs of Oakleys in less than 3 yrs (2 being replacements for the first) they used to care about their product, but now they could care less if their customer has had 3 pairs of glasses break for the exact same reason in less than 5 yrs. their 'too bad so sad' attitude backs up what this guy has said. They don't listen to their customers one bit. For $180 I would have figured I'd have had glases that actually lasted longer than 6-9 months. glasses from the grocery store that are abused last longer than a pair of Oakleys that are taken care of and never abused. Crap glasses

Most Oakley products are shipped from china the company itself is not even American there from Italy and running this place are spoiled drunk people in one side of the building and illegal alien type Santa Ana workers on the other end they call it little TJ in manufacturing sad but true when you buy Oakley your not even getting American made products. The lens are only made here in little TJ from workers who barel speak english
