Pros
Varied job roles encompasing multiple disciplines and industries, mixing technical expertise with traditional customer facing sales. Staff have access to a wealth of optical knowledge and experience. Majority of training is carried out in house with a budget put aside for external training where required. Company is fully ISO9001 and ISO14001 compliant and regularly audited by customers. Main office within easy reach of A20 and Harrietsham train station, and within 10 minutes of Maidstone town center. Recently opened a second office in Rhode Island.
Cons
The company is very target orientated and driven, and this can reflect in the attitude of senior management. CEO's reputation often precedes him even when it may be undeserved. Limited lunch options.
