Pros

- Strong focus on science - Excellent reputation with global government agencies - Best practices for sterile manufacturing

Cons

After almost 60 years, it is sad to see the beginnings of dismantling the Fort Worth Alcon headquarters. Many good people are being let go, roles being dissolved or outsourced, and productive veterans being shown the door. In the meantime, less people are being asked to do more work.

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.
