Pros

Transitions Optical's ORIGINAL culture: - Strengths-based talent management: people are prized assets, continuous development - Clear communication, top management's doors always open - Progressive and innovative environment for marketing

Cons

Post-acquisition takeover culture from Essilor-Luxottica: - Top-down directives and cost cutting vs optimizing efficiency/effectiveness - Big bully mentality, slow to embrace innovative marketing - Quote from Essilor-Luxottica Chairman in the first regional townhall after acquisition in 2017: " We want the best talent at the cheapest cost"

Horrible base salary Horrible culture Discriminatory Was not impressed by Leadership team Seemed very arrogant but most unprofessional group of people I've ever witnessed in my 25+ year career Cult like Training program was like boot camp and trainers were unprofessional, had cliques, and were insulting These people are brainwashed If you are not brainwashed you don't fit in If you don't drink their cool aid they do everything in their power to discredit your abilities and let you go I have PTSD from my short time there They are brow beaters and not encouraging
