Pros

There are many smart and pleasant people working together on the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing contact lenses and lens care products.

Cons

The parent company, Novartis, acquired Alcon, which then integrated CIBA Vision into Alcon. CIBA Vision, a respected company very knowledgeable of their business, is no more.

Pros

Benifits!!! Beautiful place to work. In these tough times you cannot go wrong.

Cons

A lot of people talk about how good the pay and benifit are and then grip about the job. In these times if is hard to find a good job and many people would kill to have your job. Every job isnt a lot of fun sometimes. Thank God you have a good job with good benifits and pay and live a little. Here you can still have time for family and a life while paying your bills.
