Baxter Healthcare Employer Reviews

I enjoy learning from the management team and I am now confident to work with contracts for large IDN's. This is a great way to learn how to provide a win-win sales result.

Typical day at work:
-Review clinical documents
-Process FDA requirements
-Track and follow-up missing required documents for ongoing studies
-Prepare contracts and confidential disclosure agreements for new institutions and participating physicians

What I've learned:
-FDA audit preparation activities
-new tracking systems
-supervisory activities

The – more... hardest part of the job:
-Continuous new system updates
-delay in signatures for contracts, etc.

The most enjoyable part of the job:
-Integral part of clinical trials by ensuring documentation is flawless to help patients receive life-saving drugs
-My co-workers - we are all cross-trained and step up for each other at any time – less

Baxter is a great place to work. The Deerfield facility has a great life work balance for all the benefits it offers. The strides it is taking to help the lives of patients is amazing to watch.

A typical work week is split between spending time in the OR to education and monitor clinicians on the use of inhalation agents to working with MD's and CRNA's inbetween cases to discuss the benefits of Baxter's Anestesia products to patients and clinicians. I have been an official trainer for Baxter for the Northeast and find that working with other – more... Baxter representatives along with working with my manager on regional issues is a strength and an avenue that I would like to persue. I have management in my past but management positions come up very infrequently for employees who will not relocate. – less

Started from the bottom and promoted a few times. Great step ladder in my professional life. Great experience.

I greatly enjoyed working with donors of the community and loved my coworkers. The hands on work was great and I would do it again, but not under the working conditions. Baxter does not have universal break policies so a new inexperienced team of management may easily not see the importance of allowing employee breaks. There were highs and lows, but – more... the lows included an 8 month period in which no paid breaks were allowed and lunch breaks were only allowed if it wasn't busy. Unfortunately it was always busy. And being a health oriented company, I was disheartened after a pregnancy by not being allowed to breast pump except during lunch breaks, which I often was the only person to get a break for a 8+ hr shift because I had amazing coworkers who covered my work knowing of my special need. Benefits were great, starting pay was decent, but promotion pay raises were very unimpressive. After 3 years and two promotions I only saw a 71 cent pay increase total. I left the company in the last quarter of the year in which about 80% of non management employees quit before I did. Rumor is things got somewhat better, but I haven't heard or break or breast pumping policies being enabled, so this company may not be friendly for family oriented mothers. Talk to employees at your location to see how local management conducts the facility. – less
