      Pros

      Abbott pays people well because it has learned people will leave quickly if they don't. One of the few companies that still offers a pension plan.

      Cons

      Management is very ignorant and out of touch. Rely on consulting "experts" and "outsourcing partners" to make decisions for them.

      Pros

      Strong benefits package, 125+ year old company, limited advancement opportunities, competitive salaries, conservative financials, growth opportunities in global markets, focus on health care and nutritional products, not afraid to acquire new technologies

      Cons

      Too conservative, slow moving, too many layoffs, management decisions dominated by Abbott Park lifers, no product pipeline, weak leadership at the divisional level, no internet presence of note, too many directors, archaic annual review process

      Good company but has become all about the money

      Pros

      Good benefits. Good products. Lots of good people that work hard.

      Cons

      Has become all about business. Moral has dropped as constant layoffs, restructuring, merging of services and outsourcing has taken a toll on its workers. Constant motto has do more with less. Underlying thoughts are that long term employees are not safe from being eliminated just to eliminate from payroll and pension costs.
