Pros

The work is easy enough, they are the first to use some new technology in eye glass making. Work is interesting and you learn a lot . The company is growing and You have Opportunities to grow and move to different positions within the company and different places aka relocation or travel work. Work is interesting

Cons

It can get hot even with climate control . Sometimes the Machines put off an omissions that can smell . Exposed to chemicals . They have a point system I think point systems suck as far as work life balance or if you get sick more than once in 90 days your screwed . ( unless they like you) But I don’t see that as a major con. If you want to feel like you went back to Jr high or high school welp you found it here. Place seems great with friendly staff and most are. But you have a smile in your face talk behind your back, Drama and teachers pet favorites atmosphere. So if you are into drama and working as another person sits and talks or having the it’s okay if this person breaks the rules because well we like them kind of job. No teamwork . Then congratulations this is the place for you. If you have an ideal for something that may work better or help improve things sometimes you are heard most times you are not.

Pros

Per diem is nice, and the company car is ok

Cons

There is no ability to effect change; processes are so manual to keep people employed that should be let go, and the company is unwilling to listen to ideas of change. Also, there is no actual product quality, their so called Quality department does not deal with product quality at all, thus systems leaving the factory untested as a whole system or software releases being fully vetted for functionality. Their "Quality department" is only a CYA department to protect them from FDA audits, which quite frankly, could be called a Complaint Conversion Department. What is the point, other than titles, to call themselves Quality when nothing actually is fixed on the products and they are uninterested in end customer user experience or improving the actual product quality and sustainability.
