Alcon Employee Reviews about "upper management"

Pros

Great company with great benefits and lots of opportunity.

Cons

Very unorganized,upper management is not very in tune with the people at the bottom.

Pros

Alcon has great health benefits

Cons

Long working hours. Lack of care for employees in upper management.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Able to move to other locations if positions open. Excellent coworkers and team members

Cons

upper management uses flawed metrics very unfairly to rate their field force. Unwilling to listen or try to be open to suggestions to make it fair. They also allow customers dictate our business making situations worst instead of designating the proper managers handle bad situations Too many confusing messages regarding OT

Pros

Great pay, and benefits. Great co-workers. Great medical devices and products that help the world see better.

Cons

Poor management. Don’t seem to care about employee concerns only upper management requirements. Need to bring in new outside management to move the company forward. Most current promoted management have worked for Alcon for most of their careers, and do not have a good sense of how other companies run. Management needs to listen and support their staff... in some cases, this is non existent.

Pros

Lots of flexibility Good fellow co-workers Great Benefits Good Products Fun selling Environment Great Training Program

Cons

Novartis itself. It was very clear to everyone that Novartis did not care about Alcon's employees and were merely there to make as much money as possible. Upper management; Save for one, I really think they were all full of themselves and would say some things that don't really make sense, like selling 10 extra swimmers ear drops a day by the end of the year in November.

Pros

Use to be the best company in north texas to work for was in top 100 companies for many years but.....

Cons

Lack of upper management leadership, lack of someone stand up and doing the right thing of the customers, and everybody is covering their own rearend, And they are going to sell out just a matter of time in the old campus

Pros

Good benefits. High sales and corporate turnover rates lead to opportunities within.

Cons

While some change can be good, too much change, turnover & loss of continuity have made this company nearly dysfunctional and inefficient. New upper management does not listen to expert advice of employees who have the knowledge and background necessary. The number of people who know the business is declining and having negative effects when upper management has a consulting style approach to reorganization. Many bad or carelesss decisions are made.
