Product Surveillance - Quality Associate I (Former Employee), Round Lake, IL –
Make it to work around 7 am and begin processing customer complaint on medical devices that were manufactured by Baxter Healthcare. I learned about 7different types of medical infusion devices. Management was fairly ok, I like that they did not micro manage. One of the hardest parts of the job was the outrageous workload. The most enjoyable part was – more...  the compensation and the dealing with different complaints. – less

Busy environment, people fun to work with.
Customer Service Coordinator (Current Employee), Stockport –
Pros: free tea and coffee
Cons: na
In my current role I assist all senior management pharmacist’s with their daily work load by ensuring all patient prescriptions are processed on time and recorded on our data base in line with legal requirements and organisation standards.
I regularly chair Team meeting’s, with my unit and other team members (from various departments) and have also – more...  been involved in projects with the Christie and Wythenshawe hospital, in order to build Baxter-Hospital relationships.
As Part of my role I am also responsible for arranging daily and weekly appointment’s (by using spread sheet) for senior management. I am also required to book appropriate transport for delivery of customer’s drugs/prescriptions.

Baxter’s are very strict on confidentiality, I’m aware of all the policy’s and different pricing issues which are not to be discussed with company’s customers. Also aware of rules and regulations and who to address if required.

My current position has allowed me to further develop my management, organisational and inter-personal skill. I have acted as Team Leader on several occasions throughout my time at Baxter’s which includes a period of 12 months covering maternity leave. The job itself is very pressurized and always having to meet deadlines. Example of this, received urgent phone call very late in the afternoon from an External Hospital requesting urgent treatment for a severely ill patient. I had to priotise my job knowing this was an urgent query and needed to be dealt with high priority. I made sure I organised transport and processed the prescription and managed to get the treatment made and delivered to the patient as promised to the customer. – less

Excellent Compensation if you can handle the stress
Senior Systems Engineer (Current Employee), Round Lake, IL –
Baxter is a stressful work environment in which you have to deal with a multitude of ambiguity. Process/Tools/Organization structure is changing constantly, and its a very difficult environment to learn while getting a grip on whats came across as new in the past few weeks.

If you can deal with the stress and constant change, you'll be compensated – more...  for it! – less

Poor or even non-existent mid-level management.
Service Specialist (Former Employee), Birmingham, AL –
Pros: great pay and benefits
Cons: your on your own if problems arise, no mid-level management, strenuous exhausting hot physical labor
I was in Renal Peritoneal Dialysis supply delivery. I loaded 26' straight truck and delivered dialysis supplies to in-home patients suffering from kidney failure.

Typical day started at 6:00 a.m. and ended at around 5:00 p.m. — often as late as 7:00 p.m.

Hardest part of the job was working lifting boxes in the back of a hot box truck. Additionally, – more...  carrying heavy loads up steep driveways and staircases using hand-trucks was very strenuous and exhausting.

I had 2 overnight layovers a week that kept me from home.

Baxter Healthcare had excellent compensation and benefits but you earn every bit of it.

The region where I worked, my direct manager was stationed in a entirely different state! Thus, communication problems with management was standard operating procedure. – less

Contracted Programmer Analyst (Former Employee), Round Lake, IL –
Pros: close to home, good people, great experience
Cons: just a contract job and not full time
I worked in a manufacturing facility, so it was a very cool experience getting to see what the company was producing. I was also stationed in the Data Center where everyone would come with their computer issues, so as a break from coding I got to help out on all kinds of problems. I also assisted in side VBA projects where I had some down time. I would – more...  say my coworkers their were the most enjoyable part, everyone was pleasant and helpful. – less

Great team work strategy
Process & Products Engineer II (Current Employee), PR –
The team work strategy established at Baxter Aibonito helps me every day to become a better person, team member, and professional, in a way that the skills as leadership are more developed compared to my previous years in here. The shared values, team work, new opportunities and constant motivation are the keys to growth every day on every aspect previously – more...  mentioned.
The opportunities like interplant projects (250 MB+), internal/external complaints investigations, new materials development/testing (GMF, ARGATROBAN, BROOKLYN, etc.) and new Kiefel machine approval are examples of the opportunities offered by Baxter and how skills can be improved every day. – less

Over worked with no incentives in drug delivery
Quality Lab Associate II (Former Employee), Round Lake, IL –
Pros: learn how to use various instrumentations only
Cons: over worked, nepotism, no growth development
I will never recommend anyone to work as a quality lab associate, this means that you will work for the worst manager on the planet.. Other positions within the company would be much better. Never any growth nor personal development.

Stable
Quality Associate II Customer Service (Current Employee), Marion, NC –
Pros: personnel are great to work with.
Cons: pay range is less than other industry competitors.
Baxter as a company is very stable and financially well off. The company will be around a very long time. For a company which preaches "Lean" and focuses on improving processes, the equipment is old and run down and there are so many redundancies that the "Lean" only applies to very few processes.
