Pros

-Used to be a great company

Cons

-Culture has become toxic -No work life balance. -Constant reductions of staff leads to absorbing work of other. Company claims work is becoming automated or shifted to lower cost regions, but work consistently is dropped or no automation is performed before exiting team members, -Laying off people who have had 10+ years of experience and great performance due to downsizing.

Pros

Great pool of exceptional talent. They have a lot of intelligent people that really understand the industry.

Cons

Products are old and under tremendous pressure. As a result, management is hyper-focused on cost and nothing else. Despite the wealth of talent at their disposal, there is no focus on development of next-generation products.

Pros

I absolutely love this job! And we're making a product that saves lives. It's very fulfilling to have a job that you enjoy that also has so much meaning and importance. Some of the good stuff...... **Pay **$1.50 shift differential for nights **Overtime ALWAYS available **$100 toward steel toe shoes (shoe truck on site each Monday) **Free uniforms **Free safety glasses (or) **If prescription safety glasses are needed Baxter pays $100 toward them. **160 hours PTO (40 hours released each quarter) **Health, dental, vision, life insurance, immediately **Outstanding maternity and paternity leave immediately **Too many voluntary benefits and employee discounts to list **Unlimited opportunities for advancement for the employee that wants it **Cafeteria on site **24-hour medical department I've read a lot of reviews on here where people are listing all kind of negative things about this company. There's always room for improvement in any company but I think many of these reviews are unfair. You'll get out of Baxter what you put into Baxter. Most of the people I see at work complaining that they don't get paid enough or that the culture is terrible are the same people that call off once a week, have a horrible work ethic and most always are negative about every single thing in life anyway. I've mentioned that there's unlimited room for advancement at Baxter. So if you think something's wrong then work towards the goal of obtaining a leadership position or moving up to assistant manager and then supervisor. Anything is possible at baxter. It's 100 percent possible to create the change that you're complaining about. In the end that benefits everybody. Working there for 6 months to a year and then leaving a negative review on the internet helps nobody. Baxter is a great place to work. But if we all work together and have a positive mindset it can be even greater.

Cons

The 12-hour shifts can be hard to get used to if you've never done them. But with the 12-hour shifts you're guaranteed a 3-day weekend every other week. Sometimes people forget that this isn't a high school so there can be lots of gossip and drama at times. But if you're an adult that remembers that, in fact, you did graduate high school this shouldn't affect you.
