Abbott reviews

This place was an HR nightmare, it’s hard to know where to start. Career advancement: Non degree/No IBHRE employees were promoted above extremely talented MBA/cross trained individuals due to their openness to partake in morally questionable activities. Married sales reps sleeping with physicians and lab staff for cases seemed to be the only standard my region had. Sexual Harassment: Rampant in my territory. Management would turn a blind eye. Sales reps would wine and dine doctors multiple times a week against policy and then follow it by taking the doctor to the strip club. It comes as no surprise with encouraged activities like these from senior sales reps that when covering these physicians, they see no probably grabbing your butt in a case because who would you complain to? The guy who took the physician to a strip club!? Very shady. Harassment: Constant degrading from senior sales reps and management. Sr sales reps would throw clinicals under the bus constantly to protect their own butts. Furthermore they would belittle them while stealing the clinicals efforts as their own to win physician approval. Disclaimer: I’m sure not every region is like this.

Horrible mgrs, their mantra is to eliminate all overtime for non-exempt employees; hired at below market rate pay; Abbott eliminated bonus (except for mgrs, imagine that) and the pension plan, across the board, as well as making the vesting on 401k funds 5 years! It is certain managers do not have these restrictions, and get nice bonuses for "lowering costs" at the expense of employee benefits and loyalty. I've had no experience with SJM before Abbott, but this is one of the worst corporate experiences I have had. I am working on an exit strategy every day, and so are many others.
