Pros

There is as much job mobility in Essilor as you want. If you have the drive to grow and make connections, you can go anywhere and do anything in this company. The culture in the Dallas HQ is very friendly. Everyone is kind and outgoing, the workday is usually very pleasant. The benefits seem to be good, 401k matching is stellar. Very stable company (for the most part)

Cons

The salary is typically below market or toward the bottom of market rates Some groups have a "french ceiling" where the growth is limited for American employees HR and Talent Development is really in your own hands. Essilor has not been so great at keeping good talent here
