Good place to get your feet wet.

Pros

I had a great supervisor who gave me a reasonable amount of work and recognized my accomplishments. My immediate co-workers were also excellent to work with and gave me support through hard times.

Cons

Upper management is full of nepotism and incompetance. Their idea of management is nitpicking the irrelevant and cutting costs at every opportunity. It feels like upper managers are here to lengthen their resume and do very little to improve the plant and work. Space is limited, yet there is no plans for expansion. Equipment is old and acquiring replacements is a lengthy process. Interaction between departments is scarce.

Not a great company to work for

Pros

Helping people..at one time I was proud to be a part of this company.

Cons

A lot of cliches, you feel like your back in high school, backstabbing, promotions given to people mgmt favor, not the deserving. Baxter claims they have tuition assistance, however even if the degreee you are working towards should be covered by this, the mgr still has descretion and if he doesn't like you, he will deny.

Too much bureaucracy...

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Baxter has a really decent benefits package. Depending on your location, there is an opportunity to develop some very good, collaborative relationships with your co-workers. In addition, there are opportunities to become familiar with the various roles within your team, enabling you to step outside of your comfort zone and learn new skills (i.e. wear many hats).

Cons

There are too many layers of management between those that actually do the work and the senior level executives to which the results are reported. There is a tendency to have unrealistic expectations or timelines by senior management because there is no comprehension of what processes a project might involve. There is also a significant lack of communication between Executive Management and associates which leads to mistrust and confusion.
