Pros

There is not one good thing that can be said about the Essilor Burnaby location.

Cons

The director of Essilor Burnaby is a pathalogical liar that lacks both a backbone and the basic human morals. We have all witnessed him make incredibly false statements to customers, to his people and to his upper mansgement in Montreal. Good people that have dedicated thier lives to this company have quit because of his behavior and total lack of truthfulness. This spineless coward will run this division into the ground because he holds his own reputation more valuable than the safety and protection of the workers.

IT Dept Disaster

Pros

Company appears to be financially stable. Beyond that, I cannot find another Pro.

Cons

No communication across IT teams. Project Managers have no idea on the true role of a project manager. Solid staff mostly made up of contractors, but the contractors really have no input and are their expertise is under utilized. They're too cheap to use MS-Office productivity tools and have settled on cheap ineffective Google tools in place of Excel and Word. Getting project vital information takes a serious of time wasting meetings. It's the most disorganized mess that I have ever seen. I entered with such hope and optimism and was brought rapidly down to earth. IT management spends too much time trying to make everything look pretty and very little time is spent on team building. With the initiatives that they have in front of them, the team concept needs to be cultivated.

Great Company To Grow With...........

Pros

If you want new experiences as well as room to grow, this is the place for it. You can advance according to the work you do. But YOU have to initiate your own growth. They will not advance you for doing average work. But they will fully accept and help you grow if you are a motivated individual.

Cons

Not all change is good change........ Company tends to make major changes in upper management very often. Often, lower level employees are unaware of new positions.
