      Pros

      Abbott Point of Care is a small division of Abbott, so you have the opportunity for exposure to many facets of the business and levels of the organization. It is an opportunity-rich environment. Compensation is quite competitive for similar positions within the industry. Opportunities for growth within the division are limited, but if you are willing to relocate there are a tremendous amount of opportunities across Abbott.

      Cons

      The division lets people go at least once a year making the organization always in the midst of change. Employees are always wondering and speculating about who is next and when the next layoff will be. In my career I have never seen so many people let go and so often.

      Pros

      None. Not a friendly environment place to work at. No communication between department. Everyone out for themselves.

      Cons

      Treat employees unfairly . Unfair reviews. Everyone out to get each other. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work here. High turnover rates.

      Pros

      There are some great people at this company. Most locations have a great onsite cafeteria where you can purchase Abbott products at a substantial discount.

      Cons

      Extremely disorganized organization. Management is terrible. They push cost savings and innovation but don't recognize your efforts and turn down all innovative ideas. And don't dare bring any ideas to anyone above your manager! If you do, you can pretty much kiss your job goodbye. There are many positions being outsourced so there are several foreign contractors both on and off site. There is an awful language barrier which causes inefficiencies and multiple errors. Positions are constantly being eliminated causing the work to be distributed amongst the remaining employees often resulting in 60 hour plus work weeks. In my experience, my manager was literally a complete liar. She would tell me one thing but tell my coworker the complete opposite. Certain people in management positions were placed in these positions without any management experience or training.
