      If you're desperate

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Co-workers are nice and some are good to be friends with. Set hours (and you can pick the set hours), weekends off. The pay. That about wraps the "pros" up.

      Cons

      Managers take credit for what their "team" does. Micromanaging is absolutely terrible. Its practically babysitting The technology there is really out of date. Windows XP? Really... It's 2012... Most people there only know how to do *their* job only. They don't know how to do anything else. Contractors getting treated very, very, poorly.

      If You Don't Mind Leaving Massachusetts, Abbott Labs Could Be Great For You

      Senior manufacturer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Don't require education to be respected at Abbott and in fact earlier you commence career and remain with Abbott, better off you will be. Non base pay benefits exceed many provided by other Massachusetts companies.

      Cons

      Worcester site: Tolerant of harassment including physical harassment. High turnover rate for Manufacturing. Rather than mar PR image, employee bullying prominent to reduce Manufacturing staff. Reduction of Manufacturing staff and overtime to show management's ability to reduce labor costs has caused a cessation in cross training outside the plant hindering career growth for those desiring to move outside the plant environment.

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Socially responsible and talk a high quality game

      Cons

      Strong silos, many people feel "its not my job," little ability to make decisions at lower levels, with Abbott purchase a lot of pressure to produce a positive bottom line short term with little long term view
