Business Outlook

Pros

Our branch had great leadership.

Cons

Too much variation in policies, benefits. Essilor is not as people oriented as they would have you believe. Too much overtime at many branches. Benefits are not as progressive as you would think with them being a European company. Small amounts of vacation/PTO and things like paternity leave do not exist.
