If they can't treat their employees well how do you think they care about patients?

Pharmacy technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The money was good. The benefits was good. Especially the profit sharing. Big money! Lots of money to throw around which is nice if employed there.

Cons

They may preach about how well they treat patients on Humira and Lupron (not entirely true) but they are awful to employees, even long time employees who fall ill, even with same indications as their patients. I have been in and out of specialist offices, having surgeries and returning to work never been treated so poorly. I've been harrassed for taking to long in the washroom, using washroom too much, and I've had notes from Dr's asking to please excuse due to nature of surgery. The notes went ignored. Having over lapping illnesses endometriosis, polycystic ovarian disease, degenerative disc disease and Hidrenitis Supperveda puts enough stress on a body. But coming back to work from medical leave to be put on a performance plan because my call score fluctuated in the 90's was harsh. Fired two days after my 16 year anniversary.

Some good things, but steer clear of Customer Experience team

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Reasonable salary, decent bonus, good 401k match and pension if you stay long enough. Decent work life balance most of the time.

Cons

While some nice, good people at AbbVie, there are a lot of folks in positions either they don't deserve, aren't qualified for or simply not a fit. For example, I have recently come across the head of the Customer Experience team and could not be more appalled. She is caustic, condescending, rude, disrespectful, not collaborative and generally creates and negative environment that is demotivating, confrontational and not productive. I have no idea how she is allowed to do what she does.

Pros

Benefits and salary are good, but similar to average. Good culture in theory.

Cons

Poor Management and areas knowledge, especially Directors. HR is not supportive, really absent. Work-life balance do not exist. The culture is not practiced.
