Solid benefits, below average salary, horrible company culture and management.
Pros
Pension is a plus. Good 401k match. Generous parental leave.
Cons
The culture. Abbott treats their employees as if they’re disposable. They do not proactively promote or care about career development. Base salaries are also well below the industry standard. If you’re a member of the sales team, expect leadership to play games with the comp plan and not pay you what you earned. If they ask you to go above and beyond on something they say they will pay you for, get it in writing or they will backtrack and not do so. Middle and upper management is led by the worst people - they will micromanage and throw you under the bus to save their own skin while providing you little support. Management would rather be feared than loved. Leadership also likes to talk about strategy, but in reality they’re just financial/sales goals with no actual strategy on how they plan to achieve those goals. I’ve never worked for a company that had so many awful people in leadership positions. You will burn out and be miserable here in due time.
