Pros

There are many good people working there that care, but they never make it to a management position.

Cons

My boss yelled and threw a tool at me in front of other employees. I went and reported it to his manager. A couple days later I was put on a PIP, which is strange since I was still training. After a month I went from being a good worker to a horrible worker. I was let go a week after that. I reached out to HR many times for help but was NEVER called back. Now I'm unemployed and that boss that yelled and threw a crescent wrench at me is still there and even got a raise. WTF!!!!!!! I'm a vet and I've never been treated so poorly. BAD PLACE TO WORK!!!!?!

Pros

Compensation package is above average

Cons

Management is complacent Core business values look good on the wall but are not practiced Toxic environment Clock-in/out policy is technically illegal as Amazon could attest when they lost a class action lawsuit revolving around the same practice Work/life balance non-existent Recognition system not utilized at all Quick to punish, rewards superficial silly trinkets I could go on and on and on

Pros

If you work for a department with a good leader, you will be happy here.

Cons

Your manager can completely change your experience with the company. I worked in several departments throughout the company and always had great leaders. I move to TA and started out with a great boss. He left the company and I ended up with an awful boss. She was passive aggressive, created issues within her team, played favorites, couldn’t accept feedback, hated new ideas, would make irrational decisions and then try to justify them with her personal struggles. I planned to retire from the company and she made it unbearable. Not to mention, a coworker and I both left the company and moved into higher level roles. She never wanted to develop us, but we went to two different companies and they saw the worth she refused to acknowledge.

We appreciate the time it has taken you to share this review. Whilst we're glad you had experienced a number of good leaders while at Baxter, it's extremely disappointing to read the change you felt once moving into TA. We will pass this information on to help is improve. We're glad your future roles have been so positive and wish you all the best for your career.
