Pros

Good health benefits, especially with the vision insurance (Duh!). Friendly co-workers (most of them). Well-known company that looks good on résumé.

Cons

Management is oblivious to employee issues, no direction, training or opportunities to grow. Stressful environment. Struggling financially, so every year they cut down on benefits and perks.

Horrible Place to Work

Pros

Pay is the only thing management has right but it has to be high to get any sane person to stay more than a day!!!

Cons

Staff turnover is high, no one in the customer care team has been employed for more than a year. It's like being in a high school working at Zeiss. If you're not one of the cool kids then you can do nothing right, regardless of how good you are at the role. You will be bullied out by adults. There are more complaints at Zeiss than any other company I've known (and I've worked in bigger companies before). Leadership is poor, and they do not know the meaning of good service.
