Pros
The best part about Alcon are the people that work here! I've made many friends over the past several years so it feels like an Alcon family. Additionally, the company has great benefits and a generous 401k matching program. The company hosts many on-site events in Fort Worth which has been a great way to network and meet people.Cons
