      Overall was positive until the last two years which were difficult, then got laid off.

      Pros

      Good company, good overall compensation package. Was vested in pension plan and received profit sharing check every year, which very few companies have anymore. A lot of well known products in different areas which helps balance the company overall.

      Cons

      Not much for opportunities to progress career if in sales unless willing to relocate to IL. Can be stuck on an island with only your manager knowing your ability and pretty much can control your career.

      Satisfactory, however M&A had significant impact on long term employee security and growth opportunities.

      Pros

      Good pay, bonus adequate, profit sharing, pension,

      Cons

      M&A created far too large a sales force with far too few products to promote and too many reps on teams in territories with inadequate pipeline to support the sales force led to 40% reduction in force in 2011. Many tenured highly productive reps at or near pension were let go along with the 900 reps positions that were eliminated, while other non productive less tenured reps were retained. Bell curve was enough to avoid legal actions. Abbotts business is no longer patient or personnel focused, simply the bottom line for upper management and their focus on retaining their hghly overcompensated positions. Dismanagement abounds.
