Pros

TRULY invested in employees, their health, work/home life balance. Cross training is a positive thing openly talked about should you want extra knowledge and experience. The company gives back and is involved in the community more than any company I've experienced. Their involvement is genuine and not just for "show". Very outgoing people in all the departments I've interacted with. Positive outlook, and wonderfully diverse culture. We help millions see better and live fuller lives. Every job is looked at as being a critical piece of the puzzle. We are all needed and valued. Excellent volunteer opportunities as well as health benefits and programs if interested.

Cons

I wished I was hired decades ago!

Pros

Great products Strong reputation Good People

Cons

Hiring Executive leaders (GMs, VPs) that are not competent resulting in effective commercial strategy and operations. There is promise but the politics of hiring has hurt achieving potential.
