Pros

They pay your health insurance premiums. That's about the only positive I can offer.

Cons

In over a year and a half, I never received a single performance review, raise, or any feedback from leadership. Abbott conducts quarterly layoffs: yes, quarterly!! Despite being a multibillion-dollar company with a market cap over $230 billion. There’s no training, no onboarding, and no clarity about what your role actually entails. You're expected to figure everything out alone. If you work overtime (over 40 hours), your time card will be adjusted without your consent, your extra hours deleted and your normal 40 hours will be significantly reduced (32-36 Hours) Managers are practically non-existent. They don't schedule 1-on-1s, they don’t make time for you, and your concerns will go completely ignored. Compensation is far below industry and state averages. The workplace culture is suffocating. You’ll find yourself walking on eggshells every day. It’s toxic, demoralizing, and degrading. This company will make you question your worth, your skills, and your dignity.

Pros

Certainly! Here's a revised version of your sentence for clarity and grammatical correctness: Participation in team bonding events and working in the office is not mandatory, but those who don't participate may find it difficult to advance in their careers.

Cons

Abbott embodies everything wrong with corporate culture today. From the outset, it was evident that this company operates within a toxic framework of misogyny, sexism, unfairness, ageism, and deceit. Firstly, it became clear that women at the corporate level were consistently marginalized and overlooked for promotions, despite their qualifications and hard work. The culture reeked of outdated, patriarchal attitudes that undermined the capabilities of female employees. It was appalling to witness such overt discrimination in this day and age. Additionally, the pervasive sexism extended to everyday interactions. Male colleagues routinely spoke over their female counterparts in meetings, dismissing their ideas or attributing their success to male colleagues. The atmosphere was stifling for any woman seeking to advance or even be respected within the company. The unfairness didn't end there. Ageism was rampant, with older employees sidelined and their contributions undervalued. The company's management seemed to prefer young, less experienced individuals, contributing to a toxic cycle of age discrimination that stifled diversity of thought and experience. Moreover, Abbott is a haven of deceit. From misleading promises during recruitment to false performance evaluations, it became apparent that honesty was a foreign concept within the organization. Not surprising considering their major baby formula recall. Many employees, myself included, fell victim to a corporate facade that concealed the company's true intentions and operational methods. In conclusion, Abbott not only fails its employees but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes and discriminatory practices. I strongly advise anyone considering a position at Abbott to think twice and seek employment elsewhere, in a company that values integrity, fairness, and respect for all individuals.
