Pros

There are no pros. Too many people onsite literally died young in the short time I was there. Not to mention bad management releases bad products and no one will listen to the employees trying to alert them.

Cons

Bad benefits, bad management & bad environment - 4 people under 50 died in less than 6 months before COVID.

Pros

For me location, security, and because I was here when pension was active I still have it, no new employees will.

Cons

Orwell's book 1984 is a perfect representation of BD Culture and it has been progressively getting worse. Bullying tactics against suppliers, Been told as a buyer I should feel "privledged" to get to buy for BD, constantly being fed how great a company that treats you badly is, cutting 401k completely, providing only 2% raise to ensure stock holders and the upper class employees are paid their millions, poor BD can't afford to take care of their people or pay their bills on time, beuracracy and cronyism a plenty, absolutely terrible medical benefits, anything good they had, they've cut(pension). The plant employees are treated like 2nd class citizens. Absolutey unethical company(a good company doesn't have to constantly tell you how good they are), with the new CEO their goals have changed to remove diversity as one of them, look at their board. Sickening practices and culture.

Pros

Best in Class Products - best data, patient impact, etc. Amazing training experience and team Base Salary Car Expenses

Cons

It felt as if management took little to no responsibility for low performing reps. If you voice a concern, even if it is based on mental health and overall well-being, you are retaliated against by upper management and put on a track to be let go. Upper management would rather protect middle managers instead of addressing long standing issues and supporting new employees. Terrible issues getting products on GPO, local IDN contracts.
