A shell of its former self. Consolidation of business and acquisitions drive growth. Upper management is clueless. - Optical Lab Representative Essilor Employee Review

Pros

Above average benefits and 401k matching. Stock purchase program. Products meet customer expectations but are expensive compared to competition. Very little reason to work for this company anymore, the golden years are over.

Cons

Essilor has been overrun by poor leadership and executive's children that now manage through fear and threats. No critical feedback is allowed, the new saying here is 'you're either on the bus or under the bus." HR is no longer human or a resource, they're just a department used to fire people. All the veterans who helped build the company to where it is today have been ushered out the door to make way for the new militaristic management.

Horrible base salary Horrible culture Discriminatory Was not impressed by Leadership team Seemed very arrogant but most unprofessional group of people I've ever witnessed in my 25+ year career Cult like Training program was like boot camp and trainers were unprofessional, had cliques, and were insulting These people are brainwashed If you are not brainwashed you don't fit in If you don't drink their cool aid they do everything in their power to discredit your abilities and let you go I have PTSD from my short time there They are brow beaters and not encouraging
