Business Outlook
Pros
Good compensation, great benefits (especially if you or someone in your family wears contacts--they're free), and depending on your desire for professional development and proximity to home office there are many opportunities for advancement.
Cons
Executive leadership is a good ol' boys club and Alcon has vastly outgrown their ability to run the organization efficiently. Budget cuts are constant which results in employees having to do more work and just when you think you've got it handled, there's another round of budget cuts or layoffs. All of this adds up to a terrible corporate culture and very low morale for internal associates.
