Comfortable work environment
Quality Associate (Former Employee), Round Lake, IL – July 12, 2012
Pros: starbucks
Cons: long commute
I enjoyed working at Baxter because I was able to work in a comfortable, well lit office space. I never felt claustrophobic; the cubicles were large enough to accommodate all the workers. The workload was manageable and the supervisors were very helpful.

Working at a well respected business
Level One Assembler (Former Employee), Mountain Home, AR – July 10, 2012
Pros: good coworkers
Cons: conflicting schedule
A typical day at work included assembling medical devices, packaging medical devices, and shipping medical devices. I learned that team work is very important in accomplishing your goals. My coworkers were hard workers and very good at what they did. The hardest part of the job was trying to work the night shift while attending college during the days. – more... The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting my co workers who were very nice and easy to work with. – less

Crummy Hours and Management
PCT (Current Employee), Moorhead, MN – July 10, 2012
Pros: good benefits
Cons: management, hours, morale, flexibility, team work, opportunity for advancement
Working for Biolife Moorhead was one of the worst ideas. Not only do they have crummy management, there is NO follow up from corporate HR on issues that arise.

Strong company, good goals
Former employee (Former Employee), WI, MO – July 10, 2012
Pros: benefits, baxter's strong history of positive business
Cons: management at local levels
At the corporate level, Baxter Healthcare is a great company -- while they are a for profit company, they also focus on the patients they provide for. At the local levels, however, the management 'teams' leave a lot to be desired. Not all have earned business degrees or HR or management degrees. They may mean well but in the 2 centers I worked in, the – more... management teams did not have control of the employees. – less

Exciting, challenging, fast paced, multi-faceted position
Regional Clinical Consultant (Former Employee), San Juan Capistrano, CA – June 8, 2012
Pros: working for a large corporation independently and as a vital team member, building customer relationships and assisting sales in reaching the sales goals.
Cons: it was difficult to have a good balance between work and family.
I enjoyed my position to be part of Baxter Healthcare Electronic Infusion Systems division. I reported to a region manager and supported 7 sales executives in all phases of the sales cycle. The job was challenging, ever-changing, and I enjoyed forming relationships with all levels of the customer base. The management valued the clinical consultants – more... input and expertise as did the sales representatives. I learned so much in this position, from being adaptive to each customer's and rep's needs - strengths and weaknesses, presentation skills, and building customer relationships. The hardest part of the job was almost 100% travel when my children were young. The most enjoyable part of the job was going to work everyday. – less

Pros: free coffee
Baxter was a wonderful place to work. I was the nucleus of the U.S. Sales Force. Handled travel, expenses, coordinated meetings, and traveled when necessary. The most enjoyable part of the job was that everyone cared for each other, and supported one another.

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.

Excellent Compensation if you can handle the stress
Senior Systems Engineer (Current Employee), Round Lake, IL – April 19, 2012
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 – April 19, 2012
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

Fun coworkers and unique environment
Contracted Programmer Analyst (Former Employee), Round Lake, IL – April 12, 2012
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 – April 12, 2012
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
