Pros

Benefits are better than most... salary, work/life

Cons

Hieararchy atmosphere.... grade levels rule! Very old school....too concious of grade levels instead of looking at what an individual can contribute. Employees are actually told where they are allowed to park, based on their grade levels. Directors/Managers promote individuals that they know and then "follow the rules" and post the position, after they have told someone that they have gotten or will get the position.

Business Outlook

Pros

Abbott Labs offers great growth planning and career opportunities for those willing to relocate and sacrifice their work life balance. They offer great benefits with stock options, 401 k matching and year end profit sharing.

Cons

The cons would probably apply to any pharmaceutical company in todays market place. What they ask of you and what you are able to produce are unrealistic. It has become increasing difficult to see physcians and leave samples at offices. Many have adopted a no see policy but corporate still requires you to see a predetermined amount of people. Representatives and Managers are often left with moral delimas. Employee satisfaction and empowerment has been long forgotten concepts.

Pros

Great balance between work and personal/family life. Shutdown in December. Friendly coworkers. Lots of resources to help you do what you need to do. Well known company name. Easy to move internally within company.

Cons

Bureaucracy increases the amount of time required to get things finished. Lack of transparency with upper management decisions because of too many layers.
