Abbott reviews

Abbott has a long history of providing quality pharmaceuticals and medical products. I have always believed that I am selling the best product in my market, which makes it much easier to sell. Abbott takes a very conservative approach to promotion and interpretation of PHARMA guidelines. We are given a lot of training on appropriate promotion. Abbott provides some benefits that many companies don't, like a pension plan and profit sharing in addition to a 401K. When my personal circumstances have required me to move Abbott has always found me a job in my new hometown. Abbott also does a great job of keeping employees even when drugs go generic or sales forces get downsized. I don't know anyone who's actually been laid off from Abbott, they always get placed in a new position. So overall, great benefits, job security and a great products to sell. That's why I've been with Abbott so long.

You have a lot of freedom @ Abbott Nutrition. It's your territory and you can run as you see fit. However, with that responsibility comes accountability. Your customers give you a lot of freedom as well. Since you're sampling something they want (baby formula), and you're not required to get a physicians signature, you can pretty much come and go as you please. No unnecessary waiting in the waiting room.
