No amount of money is worth that kind of STRESS!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits are great. Flexible hours helped the environment to be tolerable at times. Have kept some of the relationships going.

Cons

They down-size departments and expect the remaining employees to pick up the workload. Working 12+ hours a day plus weekend hours is part of business for middle and upper management. Stressilor was the nick-named given to the company by the employees.

Pros

As a Business Analyst, I was involved in everything in the business. Great resume builder and the experience was great.

Cons

We as analysts drove the ideas and implementation but rarely got the credit we deserved. Most executives can't read financial statements and thus can't manage to one. I ended up giving free accounting and finance classes to those paid much better than I was both in field and in Dallas. Loyalty and opportunites seem to be wth same people: those who grew up in optics, those whose families are tied to optics and those who never off up original or new ideas.
