Pros

Location is great if you live in Fort Worth or Burleson. Cafeteria and fitness center are wonderful. Campus is kept clean. If you work for Alcon, you can have confidence that the products are high quality and worth standing by.

Cons

Where to start. I was told when I became pregnant that I needed to choose whether I wanted a baby or a career at Alcon, because you can't have a family and be successful there. There is vertually no training in the finance department, which leaves room for costly mistakes that management is ok with covering up. A professional audit would reveal these mistakes. The environment is extremely unprofessional and unethical. Racial and sexual slurs are made constantly, and gossip is a daily event. If you work in finance, prepare to be underpaid and overworked, unless you are one of the top few employees. If that is you, you will work ridiculous hours while they throw money at you to convince you to stay there, even though you are completely miserable and never see your family. Raises are a joke. While the company tries to tell you that they cannot afford raises over 2%, know that they are giving $25,000 bonuses to everyone above you, at a minimum.
