Pros

Good stock purchase plan. Quality products. The French are good business managers.

Cons

Other than Finance/Accounting, most Director and above positions are managed by the French. The Italians will want to participate in top management once Essilor merges with Luxottica.

Pros

It is a very good company, seems to have good processes, but...

Cons

...but just below that nice surface there is *something* not quite right that is pushing the company in a direction contrary to its noble aspirations.
