Quality Department at Marion is only for Short Timers.

Pros

- The people are excellent. You will never feel like someone will backstab you, and everyone is eager to lend a hand. - There is a lot of established Lean/6 Sigma manufacturing in a massive facility; gives great experience to model for manufacturing excellence. - If you're smart and capable it will be recognized (not outwardly though) and management will not hesitate to throw the big important projects at you.

Cons

- The pay is on the lower end of industry standards. On top of this, addition of pay is slow (~3%/year) and there are no bonuses. That is until you reach the higher tiers of ranking, they get a lot of bonuses. - The advancement opportunities within the Marion site is non-existent, at least within the quality department. Expect to need to leave the company, or transfer to another site for advancement in career and any significant increase to pay. - Upper management got their through brown-nosing, and as such expect to be brown nosed. - As an engineer, the innovation, design, and critical thinking during projects and day to day work was extremely lacking. Most of the job was pushing paper around to accomplish simple menial tasks. - Almost no feedback to employees, ever. On that same note, almost no request for improvement opportunities from management.

Pros

Flexibility and laid back atmosphere. Baxter is also focused on helping patients which makes it a very rewarding place to work. Round Lake location is somewhat hard to get to if you live in the city of Chicago, however there are plenty of subdivisions if you would like to live closer to work. Although there has been new construction in the area, the offices are still in the middle of nowhere for all practical purposes.

Cons

FDA regulations make it painfully boring at times. Attention to detail is an absolute must, and discovering a root cause for every problem is mandatory.
