Alcon Manager, Human Resources Project/Program Management reviews

The fact of the matter is that Novartis does not care about their employees. They use the temps up for 3 years and do not hire them on as full time employees. This is why I believe Alcon does a disservice to the community of Fort Worth. You have these temp workers who have invested 3 years with the company and vice versa, the company has invested in them, and yet they do not hire them on full time. It blows my mind. There is no reason for this. It truly creates a split environment. Then you add on that you have these people working SEVEN days a week, if they miss one "mandatory" day the temps are let go. I do not know any humans who can work 7 days a week every week and be sufficient in their job as well as maintain a work life balance. There is subtle racism in all of Alcon, and it goes both ways. The white managers fire all the black employees or have an issue with them yet don't have issues with their white employees and the black managers always have an issue with the white employees. Sitting in the ASPEX cafeteria is an interesting place to hear the drama of the company. The full time associates talk bad about their company while the temps feel used and mistreated. On top of all this, you have certain full time associates who BULLY the temps. In one instance, even heard an Alcon employee say to a temp worker "I do not help TEMPS, it's not my job" This decreases the moral of the entire organization. How can someone who WAS ONCE A TEMP WORKER say that to another person trying to be successful in the same role? Absolutely ugly, rude, and unecesaary. My best advice is NOT to go work at Alcon. I did not even touch on the fact that Alcon has extremely limited parking for it's employees. Then, they decide to do more construction taking out half of the ONLY PARKING LOT AVAILABLE, where are the employees supposed to park? When it is pouring rain, and you have to walk a mile to get to WORK,it sets the tone for a bad day. THANKS NOVARTIS. YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR EMPLOYEES SO MUCH. NOT!
