Telephony Systems Specialist

"Alcon is an excellent eye-care company, but not the best place to work as a young IT professional. The IT department is run EXTREMELY lean and lacks proper upper management direction. There are too few people performing too many jobs and IT employees are often working nights and weekends with no additional overtime or bonus compensation. Many employees are overworked and the company does not encourage any type or work/life balance. I would not recommend the company to any other IT professional."

"Too many poorly paid temp people with too few benefits, total lack of company loyalty not only at the temp level but at lower level management as well, most of the departments are very detached from each other with no team work what so ever. Very poor and unprofessional environment TOXIC."
