Alcon reviews

12 hour shifts Nearly impossible to get prescription safety glasses It is NOT a "no retaliation culture" Management are either micromanagers or completely laissez-faire Bait and switch with the work assignments (be prepared to do A LOT of non-chemistry work) Initiative is punished The scientific method is ignored and using it is punished Promotions are based on DEI not experience, education, or seniority Favoritism is RAMPANT Big difference between benefits offered and benefits given (HR said unlimited time off, management said 15 days to include sick days - non-shift workers get 12 holidays and unlimited time off HR said shift differential, management said no shift differential, when I contacted HR about shift differential, I got laid off.) First freedoms are stripped at the door. Pay is barely average and no overtime Laziness is rewarded Safety is an afterthought

Consistent job insecurity and hiring freezes- current associates get overloaded and no additional help or support. Poor management and wants to eliminate higher paid associates by “restructuring” or eliminating positions.
