Pros

Optics 1 has a great management team. They allow and trust you to do your job. The leadership team is highly competent and just a bunch of really good people that care about the people they work with. Optics 1 has great technology and I am proud of the products we make and that our products make a difference for the warfighter. Since I have been here I have seen a good number of my hard working peers be promoted to higher level positions. If you work hard at this company, you are noticed and appreciated. Competitive pay and benefits (for the most part)

Cons

This isn't really a con, but the company has had a lot of success so you are always busy. Sometimes hard to get things done because everyone is so busy. Certain benefits could be better and more competitive with other companies in the industry. (Paternity/Maternity)

Pros

Optics 1 is the best company I've ever been employed with. All the employees are happy and friendly. People actually say hello and good morning. The company has excellent benefits, including a great 401K set up. They contribute money to your 401k even if you don't contribute anything yourself. The every other Friday off deal is amazing lol. I don't have to wait 4 months for a 3 day weekend !! I get one every other week. The facility is modern and immaculately clean. I think most importantly though, the management goes to great lengths to keep the employees happy. Their is always something special planned. Like a free breakfast, birthday celebrations, ice cream socials etc. I've been working for 38 years and taking the job at Optics 1 is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Cons

Nothing to report here yet.
