Pros

Great company. Stock does really well. Love the people. Paid well.

Cons

Essilor of America is doing a large layoff this morning of only American employees. No French expats were terminated because Essilor is French owned. Most all of the layoffs are long term, upper level and older aged employees.

Cons

Where to begin? If you just do a little research on Essilor-Luxottica merger, you will get a feel for how things work at Essilor. Management team do not collaborate internally and they do not work well across Essilor and Luxottica teams either (i.e. stock is down over $10 since public fighting has started). Company sold everyone this merger was good for employees, which was another lie from management. Company culture is very French and all teams are being replaced by French management. Future opportunities are very limited.
