Overall the people at Bausch & Lomb were great to work with. Therefore the environment I was in, was great.

Advancement and promotions do not occur often. The best way to get a promotion is to leave the company and get it outside.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, benefits and opportunity to learn.

Cons

The management in this location is just waiting to retire so they do not want to make any changes or improvements. They all want to coast for another 3-5 years and take a package when there is a next set of layoffs or site closure. Not doing the needed things to make the site competetive in the long term. who knows if this site will be open for long with the new management.

Pros

• Strong brand recognition and industry presence • Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level • Exposure to complex systems and processes • Good learning opportunities if you’re early in your career

Cons

• Significant shift in culture following large severance actions • Benefits and flexibility have tightened over time, particularly PTO carryover • Low PTO rollover limits compared to other professional environments • Little transparency around long-term people strategy • Increased workload without corresponding support or morale investment • Feels like attrition is an accepted cost-control mechanism
