WOW! There are some serious morons here, you all need to get a life...losers! The grass always seems greener, there are plenty of openings with other companies. Some people here are not miserable. You all sound like a bunch of uneducated children...

B&L is one of the best companies to work for. Great management, job security, career development plans, and a focus on building long term growth for the company that will help us secure our jobs for the future.

1. Not a good place to work. SAS, Boston Consulting Group, and Wegmans Food Markets are Fortune's top 3 of 2011. B+L did not make the list. It is by far one of the worst and creepiest environments to work on.

2. Management are like the bench warmers for a JV football team- total rejects with little reason to be on the playing field. If you know the story of the hostile takeover that put PS and KK in power 3 years ago you would understand why the work environment plummeted fast. Managers being forced out to make room for KK's friends, backstabbing at management level, and inexperienced NOOBs being placed into positions over their heads. All managers function in constant state of CYA and those that don't are no longer here.

3. No job security. Manager turnover alarmingly high, rep turnover equivalent to the churn and burn environment of a telemarketer. All of the best reps have left long ago. Those that have stayed behind have something going on the side to keep them sane.

4. No career ladder. When the Optometry Manager position was created, there were bogus interviews with more senior reps. Many of these interviews were scheduled last minute by HR with the rep, giving less than a week to prepare. Turns out that a few people with less than 1 year at B+L and no documented sales achievement (and no experience in ophthalmology) were promoted into these positions. The reps that were turned down received stupid answers for why they were not chosen for promotion. The career ladder is never followed and is just an HR CYA.

5. There is no long term. B+L is a place you end up in if you are desperate for a job, benefits, and money. Nobody tries to go here- they just settle here because they couldn't find anything better. Current products are all me-too imitators with no real claim to efficacy superior to what's already currently available. The product pipeline is merely a pipe dream with no real innovation that's NEEDED by the medical community. Goals ratchet impossibly higher where you can be #1 for one year and then fall to #25 next year even showing INCREASED volume over the prior year. Patent life on LE portfolio is dwindling. Oh, and B+L is owned by Warburg Picus- a private equity company who picks up companies, dresses them up, and SELLS them (either whole or in pieces). The real chief at B+L is Fred Hasaan and he's here for only 3-4 years to dress the company up and sell it to the highest bidder. Warburg Pincus doesn't mess around when it comes to their $35 billion portfolio. The future is ever so clear and it is not here.
