Baxter is tanking

Pros

Teamwork and co-workers are the only reason I stayed as long as i did. Benefits are OK not the best but not the worst. They have a great PTO package.

Cons

When i started at Hillrom I thought I was going to retire from this company. Ever since Baxter bought them out, ever since Baxter took this great Medical Devices company and have been going down hill. Direct hiring managers who have no clue instead of promoting within. Two weeks ago laying off 200 people in service. Now the people left are worrying about losing their jobs, and have to work harder for less money. CEO is a joke, you can't run a sevice department if you let go of 200 service technicians. Demands for FFS are ridiculous, you can't force hospitals to call us, even if they do we have no parts to fix the equipment. Constant pressure of performance doesn't matter if you were awarded service awards, they'll fire you. Save your time don't waste it with Baxter. You'll go no where but the employment office.

Uncertain Future

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

Flexibility, Salary, Colleagues, International Presence

Cons

CEO with history of splitting up companies, too many Re-Orgs and layoffs meaning uncertain future, needs to scale down amount of meetings - always seem to have meetings about meetings. New hires being hired as fully remote while existing long term employees are required to go into the office. Outsourcing jobs or sending them overseas for cheaper pay.

Pros

Good pay & benefits. Generally seemed to make quality products.

Cons

Hours were horrible. Hard to take time off. Dire lack of training on systems you were ask to manage or manage with. However, you were required to train on everything else whether it had anything to do with your job. Financial management tended to look the other way rather than address major problems. Language barriers were a major obstacle. People who could barely speak English and didn't really comprehend were the support you were forced to rely on. Systems were poorly integrated and support was atrocious. The execution process for bringing new companies on board was a complete farce. Too much critical knowlege was not replicated and left the company highly exposed.
