      Planned to spend my career at Baxter but the lack of advancement/recognition sent me elsewhere.

      Pros

      -Flexible work schedule -Summer hours -Management is willing to provide as much responsibility as you're willing to take on -Friendly work environment -Medical field provides a very stable employment environment -Good benefits package

      Cons

      -Top down management style that doesn't welcome dissenting opinions -Non existent professional development. -Company values external over internal experience. Saw numerous qualified people get passed over for promotions in favor of hiring someone external. -No recognition. Mediocre work earns you the same review/raise as doing extraordinary work. This has led to a lazy organization. -Heavy work load. The company is chronically understaffed with a backlog of projects. If you work hard to get your work done early, you are "rewarded" with a new project. -Penny smart, pound foolish. They're worried about preventing the purchase of name brand pens while refusing to increase head count that could implement huge cost savings.

      Great employees but watch the chemical exposure

      Pros

      Good natured employees, team mentality, company pride, life saving products, regular department meetings, open information sharing, well documented process and procedures.

      Cons

      High chemical exposure for those working in or near the manufacturing process, corporate direction and local management direction sometimes gave conflicting messages.
