      Pros

      Outstanding name in the industry with surgical optometry equipment and products.

      Cons

      Their digital team is in complete shambles. The Ft Worth location is all about politics and is one of the worst work environments I have ever seen. If your looking at any position in Digital Health there, think long and hard about it. They play games, lie, and will stab you in the back in a second if it gets them ahead. Senior leadership is oblivious to the catastrophe this division is in because they are not being told the truth about those products and the challenges they face in the field.

      Pros

      Pay is good which can make you feel a bit trapped about finding another company

      Cons

      Took away hybrid work of any kind - prior to Covid, it required Director/VP approval. That was taken away.

      Considering market share and profit margins should be great. Unfortunately mediocre.

      Pros

      Excellent technology, still a lot of great people(for now), relatively recession proof.

      Cons

      With a massive market share and hefty profit margins this should be a slam dunk to rate well above 4 but current rating well below 4 speaks to current top management and owners. Trend is longer hours for less reward for most. Any increase in profits has been through reducing benefits, salaries, and headcount. Nothing creative or admirable about that.
