Pros

Will receive the typical benefits from pharma companies i.e car, good health benefits, 401K etc. The company likes to promote from within. Calling on Optometrist is not so bad because they are generally a nice group of doctors.

Cons

The Vision Care division (which sell contacts lens) calls itself a "medical device" company...since when are contact lens and over the counter contact lens cleaning solution a "medical device?"

Pros

I love the environment and communication with my colleagues. The communication with top management is so easy. I like the idea of being in a performance driven company.

Cons

Salary is not the expected one plus the division of your salary to be taken every four months is annoying. Targets are not be informed in time. reviews about our performance maybe delayed. the cash advance system for our activities is not functional.
