Pros

Many opportunities to take on new, challenging assignments, but you can't wait for someone to offer. You need to step up and ask. Solid benefits program, including diverse 401K and Pension.

Cons

Legacy Abbott culture at middle-management level needs to be addressed. Senior leadership has made an impact here, but more opportunities exist. Medical benefits could be better for a health care company; the programs change significantly in cost/coverage on a year to year basis.

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is average. Benefits are really good. Ability to rotate to other departments to learn. Most managers are very flexible when it comes to work schedule.

Cons

Not a lot of diversity. Bonus structure is cash profit sharing when it should be performance based. Legacy Abbott ways still within management. Hard to move up if you don't fight youth and nail for it.
