Business Outlook

Pros

Essilor is a company that cares about their employees progressing in the business by additional training, hiring within etc. They value their employees input & create a atmosphere of ownership to optimize their processes and maintain Quality. This company is known for Quality and understands where they stand with their competitor.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that they moved their production out to Dallas Texas. The St. Petersburg location loss about 4,000 jobs due to their relocation & outsoursing to location abroad like Mexico, Thailand, Philippines etc.. :-(
