Pros

Nothing I can think about.

Cons

1, upper management never tell what's going to happen until last min such as Sandoz sell and new office location. 2, people in here either from other states or local fort worth or unemployment. 3, lots of overtime and not life/work balance in financial reporting group druing month-end. You have to stay even already finished your job. 4, Pharma team is very biased subject to favor white friends and fit with their culture. 5, no promotion/growth opportunities until you are managers. They have zero budget for training staff level. 6, high turnover rate in both Pharma and Alcon team, almost less than 2 years. 7, this place will be closed in 2019

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
