Pros

Great benefits, stock options. Wonderful team mates. National sales meetings in nice locations. Micro managing minimal. Free lenses. Great networking opportunities.

Cons

Micro managing becoming a normal part of doing business. No creavity, must be robotic to be successful in the eyes of management. A lot of brown nosing and clickish. Training meetings are over 9 hours a day with sometimes only 30 min lunch breaks. Hard to be successful in certain parts of the country due to external factors {lab performance}. Salaries not compensated when living in expensive parts of the country. Afraid to give opinions or state anything for fear of retribution.

Pros

The people are great to work with. Low ego environment, friendly. For people that work hard and contribute, there are plenty of opportunities to advance. Salary and benefits are competitive. Great 401 k match and employee stock purchase program.

Cons

Like a lot of companies these days, sometimes it feels we are under resourced. Open working environment can be distracting at times.
