      Great Future but Lagging Culture

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company emphasizes continuous improvement and innovation, and has a bright future ahead. There are great, competitive benefits with flexible time off.

      Cons

      Alcon in Johns Creek needs work on its company culture and work-life balance. The culture seems to lag behind the current times, and people with ethnic minority backgrounds are not treated the same nor offered equal opportunities. Work-life balance does not seem to exist at Alcon, with many associates working off the clock year round. The company needs to realize that employees need downtime in order to be efficient.

      Not what you think

      Production supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free contact lenses, good health and vision insurance.

      Cons

      Upper management are the gastopo, they treat middle management like crap, you constantly feel like you are being squeezed on both ends, from above by upper management and below by your unhappy hourly workers. This job sucks man, if you are educated with a college degree, this is not the place for you. Look for something else.

      Very Political Workplace, Management is like a Cartel

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you want to live a retired life, like no need for growth, but just go with the flow, this is the right place.

      Cons

      Highly political and favoritism towards those who in good books of management. Merit got zero value, but race helps to be in good books. You can be demoted without any reason or asked to report to your sub ordinate. At same time, close allies could get double promotion a year. Even create a new designation to help favorites of management. A total mess. May be more number of managers than workforce.
