Pros

compensation and benefits are good

Cons

no opportunity for career advancement, they hand pick "favorites" from within and promote them to roles that they themselves even say they are not qualified for, then act surprised when everything blows up in their face. When it blows up their first solution is to lay everyone off (except the management that caused the problem).

Pros

Good Benefits, with Pension and Profit Sharing

Cons

New Employees unlikely to see Pension and Profit Sharing, poor Medical Insurance for a healthcare company. Work Life-Balance to suffer as company keeps cutting people. Abbott Labs is the 4th worst company for layoffs in the Healthcare Industry

Incompetent management, with no accountability

Pros

Excellent compensation and benefits. Can shine with minimal effort if you know whom to impress. Siloed culture and complicated business processes make for a bureaucracy that is easy to hide behind.

Cons

Executive management is out of touch. Sycophantic upper management. Lack of a coherent culture.
