Pros

Benefits, Location, Products, Commitment of hourly workers.

Cons

I was once told by a Sr. Financial Officer that Novartis is a Financial company that chooses to manufacture and sell pharmaceuticals for the high margins. Alcon was a healthcare company that was only focused on preserving and protecting sight.

Pros

I truly enjoyed working at Alcon. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and they seem to truly care about their colleagues. Additionally, the benefits are great and they promote work-life balance.

Cons

Some of management did not seem to understand or care to understand the work that their employees do. It was disappointing to see a manager give direction that did not make any sense.
