      Still a good job, but not a longterm career.

      Pros

      Abbott seems to be a very stable, conservative company. The company has done a nice job diversifying its portfolio. Abbott is a respected name with customers.

      Cons

      Most of the cons are due to issues bigger than Abbott. The problems with my job would be similar with most pharmaceutical companies. There is little job security due to changes in healthcare and the poor economy. In addition, the selling environment continues to deteriorate, which leads to little, if any, job satisfaction. Abbott isnt a bad place to work, but selling pharmaceuticals to primary care is not the best place to be in my opinion. Abbott does have a number of divisions that are appealing, but movement is clogged right now due to downsizing in the company.

      Pros

      The benefits were amazing and they had a good bonus structure along with a company car. They do have good products that can actually help you in all forms of life from infant to fitness nutrition to adult nutrition.

      Cons

      This was the worst back stabbing company I've ever worked for. The term "throwing you under the bus" gets thrown around, but never have I experienced anything like this. The only way you will get ahead in this company is if you have no heart and are willing to throw everyone around you "under the bus" in order to make yourself look good. People are quitting left and right in the past 2 years and nobody seems to realize that it is the extremely poor management to blame. Although money incentives were nice, saying "good job" every once in awhile would have been great too. I've never felt more degraded and put down in my entire life as in my yearly reviews and one on ones. Everyone in the company puts on an extremely "fake" hat on and pretends they love their job when most of them are absolutely miserable. They DO pay well though, which makes people stay and put up with the extreme politics. Not worth it to me.
