Worst company to work for
Product Specialist (Former Employee), South Africa – May 13, 2013
Pros: good training
The only good thing about working this division is the training. Other than that, management changes every year and they never promote from within. You are expected to work 24/7. Even if employees exceed their targets, they are given poor increases. Management fires at least 2 people per year and at least 3 leave as the stress is too high. I am really – more... glad to have escaped unharmed but my heart goes out to those I left behind. – less

Fast paced environment emphasizing attention to quality and details.
Crew Leader (Current Employee), Sturgis, Michigan – April 21, 2013
Pros: good benefits and insurance.
I utilize resources including staffing, training, materials, machinery and equipment to meet daily scheduled production demands in a powder packaging department. I adhere to strict work order instructions and regulatory affairs compliance. I also maintain, troubleshoot equipment and production issues, assist with quality assurance and procedural improvement – more... initiatives relating to engineering and equipment. I play a key role in short and midrange decision making. I am familiar and work with Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing. My co-workers are a great team to be a part of. We have good communication and work together well. The hardest part of my job is sometimes dealing with miscommunication, which can happen anywhere. The most enjoyable part of my job is when you meet or exceed production goals. I also enjoy special projects and presenting ideas that can be used by the company for improvement. – less

Data Entry Tech I/II (Current Employee), Buffalo Grove, IL – April 20, 2013
Pros: flexibility, employee development
Cons: hard to advance at lower levels
Great company to work for. Very productive and employee-centric. This company is very flexible when it comes to work-life balance, tons of benefits and employee aide. The hardest part is advancement at lower levels, it's easier for management to move but not the lower level employees. The most enjoyable part was the balance between independent work – more... and teamwork. – less

Provided a secured employment with good benefits
Failities Designer (Current Employee), North Chicago, IL – April 9, 2013
Pros: great co-workers
Cons: the endless meetings and lack of support to advance within the company
The management relies too much on the Human Resources Division. The HR Division is to concern about their diversified employment. Especially, when they ignored the employees who are age 50 and above. These employees can give the company dependable and loyal service in order for the company to achieve their goals. The HR would rather lay-off (or Position – more... eliminated) these people instead of recognizing their efforts. They ignored their own rules when it comes to the over 50 age personnel and a lot of these people suffer for it! – less

Working for AbbVie
Secretary III for Directors (Current Employee), Abbott Park, IL – April 3, 2013
Pros: what the company stands for is the pro to me.
Cons: highly stressful changes that myself and other employees can feel.
I really enjoy working for AbbVie. It is a new company that has seperated from Abbott Laboratories. Allot has changed since I started with the company, some good and some bad but every day is new.

Fast pace, productive place to work
Zone lead (Former Employee), temecula, California – April 3, 2013
A very proactive place to work, where the leads and supervisor worked on the floor with the assemblers. It was sad that I had to be laid off due to the company downsizing their production operations in the Temecula site.
