Pros

Will receive the typical benefits from pharma companies i.e car, good health benefits, 401K etc. The company likes to promote from within. Calling on Optometrist is not so bad because they are generally a nice group of doctors.

Cons

The Vision Care division (which sell contacts lens) calls itself a "medical device" company...since when are contact lens and over the counter contact lens cleaning solution a "medical device?"
