Baxter Healthcare Employer Reviews

I was at Baxter on a contracted position and found it to be one of the best companies that I worked at in my 30 year career.

The training was great, great Co workers, management was nice and professional. The schedule fluctuated but, their holiday scheduling was awesome...lots of time off at your discretion.

Good place to work, and an even better place to learn.

Fast paced work with tight deadlines.

Most people who work here are very helpful and responsible.

Obvious that politics get in the way when it come to promotions, seen this too many times . Due to this, many talented people leave, but they leave with mounds of experience. 1 year here equals 7 – more... years anywhere else.

Best route for promotion is to start here, make an impression, leave, and then come back. Repeat every 2-4 years – less

It feels like you are always being watched and are "over-managed", many unnecessary time-wasting tasks given, strange culture and management, they only promote phony "yes-men", you cannot speak out with your own opinion; if you do, it is not well received. A lot of finger pointing. Most people are unhappy here, there is a high turn over and no real – more... perks. Rather unpleasant place. – less

On a typical day at work, I always went into work with a motive of advancing to the highest level possible. When initially hired, I targeted the management team for any knowledge that could assist with successful completions and promotions. So, every single day that I went to work, I would conquer jobs that was expected to fail if performed by a typical – more... production technician. I always did what was necessary to complete my job in the correct way. Co workers did not specifically love my ambitious spirit, but that wasn't a matter that was relevant. My aim was always to conquer whatever task that was given. The hardest part of my job was taking breaks when needing to do so. I always have the desire to complete a task in a timely manner, but also carefully doing so. The most enjoyable part of my job was the four promotions within one year of working with this company. I learned that, if better is possible, then good is NEVER enough. I aim for success. – less

At Baxter we packaged and boxed medicines for many hospitals, i learned alot about what the medicines do for the patients. I learned how the machines worked as a whole. The co workers there where like any other factory. We all kept busy and got our jobs done. There was not really a hard part of the job. Most enjoyable part was the learning experience. – more... I love to learn different thing. – less

If you do a good job and exceed expectations your compensation will reflect your hard work and you will have a leg up on advancement opportunities.

Checking/Packing orders to be shipped to the customer. Loading orders with a forklift on the truck. Working has a team player every day.

It's a lot work to do and you learned different thins in there. We management with your co-workers and we enjoyable the job.

Baxter was a fantastic place to work....This company had great incentive plans like paud vacations and great health medical benefits. I would say that all my co-workers are lifelong friends since the closure of this company...

The hardest part of the job was the lack of job security because this company utilized firms like kelly services to reclute people to work, and therefore there are no benefits. The work shifts are very random, I really learned a lot because it was my first experience since graduating from university. The other thing I did not like was that a really – more... tired to applied to jobs within the company that requires the field of studies that I completed for a degree – less

Worked as a part of a team of test engineers on a new product launch. Tested IV set components on the ability to withstand different stresses such as time, temperature, and pressure.

An average day consisted of running several different tests on the same product under varying circumstances.

Learned a lot about what is necessary to launch a new medical – more... device to market. – less

I LEARND ALOT ABOUT MY SELF PLUSE ABOUT MY PASSION FOR CREATION AND THE REPAIR OF DEVICES

Direct communication with suppliers to negotiate payments and terms, discounts, month-end close, reconciliations, entrdas of wages, tabulated and expenditure account corporation

Good day,day by day and good relationship with co workers.I learned do medical stuff,less pay.

This is the third time in the last 15 years that I have worked for a company I loved that was then acquired and subsequently lost everything that first attracted me to work there. HQ is working on a better PMO structure but with a strategy of growth through acquisition, it's hard to get caught up on common processes as there are constant integration – more... activities going on. Hardest part of the job is the lack of structure from HQ and the lack of drive to get projects delivered. Also the slow bleeding of people leaving for other opportunities due to the limited opportunities and low morale. Love my co-workers and my immediate boss. All from the original company. – less

I would enjoy working in a fast paced environment that involves multitasking. I have learned to work with various types of people and to adjust to the environment around me. I have managed teams of teachers and I have learned to embrace an open door policy that allows each team player to work to his or her full potential. The hardest part of my current – more... job is the lack of year round stability and he most enjoyable part of my job is the lack of predicatabilty throughout the day. – less

Very stable company, lots of professional colleagues. I learned a lot not only from my job but also about Lean concepts.

Only negative was the rotating shifts that included weekends and holidays of work.

Very busy sales atmosphere with quality management and support. Solid hospital medical sales training and development.

Micro managed
Slow to innovate
BD and R&D are very weak
Good people
Balanced workload
Compensation average to above average
Questionable culture
