Pros

Baxter offers a wonderful tuition reimbursement benefit. They are a great place to work for college students. In-house training offers a "fast-track" opportunity for those looking to get into the medical field.

Cons

Constant changes are poorly communicated. Standard operating procedures are revised monthly. Training is inconsistent from employee to employee making required testing problematic. There is a high employee turnover rate. Management does not appear to appreciate subordinates. Opportunity for advancement is very poor.

Pros

Its a large company with few layoffs. Benefits are good and retirement benefits are in place. I believe in the company itself and in its reasons for existence. Baxter has done plenty of good among its customers and clearly, its customers come first above all else. For that alone, I commend them.

Cons

In my area of this company its all who you know and who likes you - very little is done on merif. People wo are competent in their positions tend to be kept in those positions with no possibility of advancement in spite of their merit or their ability to take on more responsible tasks and advance to more responsible positions.
