Business Outlook
Pros
The company is the market share leader by a long shot and the industry is very decentralized so it will be difficult for anyone to knock them off the top of the hill. Facilities are nice but nothing extraordinary.
Cons
Lack of direction and leadership. Essilor keeps expanding by acquiring smaller companies but they don't have a strategy for assimilating these companies beyond rolling their revenues into the corporate pie. The US executive team is unwilling to do anything that they haven't done before and have a difficult time giving clear direction back to Paris or out to the branch offices. If you are a even a moderate risk taker, this company will drive you crazy.
