      More than exceeded at my job but fell into a system that doesn't pay off for employees

      Pros

      Good start to career with great benefits. Awesome 20 cent pay raises once a year that really help you buy a soda pop every now and then for you and your family. Maybe even a pack of gum.

      Cons

      Hard work will never pay off here. Doesn't matter how many hours or how hard you work it doesn't pay off. My first year, experienced employees that have already been through the system told me to stop busting my butt because they have seen it too many times and it doesn't help at all. One of the hardest working and honest employees there. I have been lied to multiple times by my "higher ups" to the point where it drove me to hate my job.

      Pros

      The product itself is good. I cannot think of any other good things at the moment...

      Cons

      If you work for Alcon Japan, you cannot expect work life balance there.

      We are sorry to hear that you had this experience at our location in Japan. We never want our associates current or former to not feel as if they are valued. We are looking forward to the future of Alcon as we have been implementing some changes to the company and hope that you will continue to follow our work as we make improvements.

      Pros

      This is a good company to work for. I've been here for over 4 years the second time around. The company has good benefits and the salary is good. I want to expand my horizons though.

      Cons

      The hours are too Long.
