      Security and slow pace

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Security, amazing work balance and nice people.

      Cons

      It's not a competitive industry so things go on their own pace. Not an industry/company to start a career and learn an awful lot from cutting edge professionals.

      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.

      Waste of good oxygen

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company is a leader in their field only because they have bought up all the competition. They have really put the "M" in Monopoly. Paychecks didn't bounce.

      Cons

      No training, no advancement. Management treats you like you are in kindergarden. Nothing ever get resolved and you hope things will change, but it never will.
