Pros

Stable company with good benefits. Products are well made and are beneficial to people around the globe. Friendly atmosphere at the local level.

Cons

Few opportunities for employees to develop career or advance, even as more experience is gained. No clear goals to work towards, and promotions are based on management's need to fill new jobs that they themselves have created. Seems the only way to advance is to get trained at Baxter and then find a better job at a different company

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
