Challenge yourself with a fast paced environment and casual fridays (every friday!!)
Manager (Current Employee), Lake Forest, IL – May 15, 2013
Pros: everyday there is an opportunity to learn something new, it is a fast paced environment
Cons: work-life balance is not balanced, opportunities for growth are limited
A typical day is never typical at Hospira. There are always opportunities to learn something new everyday. It is a fast paced environment which is great, one can never get bored. Management is supportive in daily activities and appreciative to those that go the extra mile. The hardest part of the job can be the conflicting priorities and the off-balance – more... work life-balance, but even that is getting better. The most enjoyable part of my job is knowing that I can positively impact a patient by doing a good job everyday. The greatest benefit of working here are the casual fridays, every Friday is Jeans day! – less

Awful place to work, stay away
manager (Former Employee), lake forest, ill – March 10, 2013
Management is indecisive, tactical and only focused on making a profit. No focus on quality. No concern for the little guy, who is doing the work.

Poor Management
Quality Engineer (Current Employee), Rocky Mount, NC – February 5, 2013
Pros: benefits, holidays, compensation
Cons: management, lack of engaging culture
In general people is nice and is willing to drive for results.

Management don't have the people skills required to lead a fast-paced environment and they always want to bring their own people even if that means poor resources. They don't like to make decisions and are biased for their own people.

Benefits are good and 401k contribution from company – more... is high. – less

good collegues, but culture still evolving.
Senior Dir, Corporate Dev, Strategy & Marketing (Current Employee), Lake Forest, IL – December 14, 2012
Hospira provide a challenging and learning environment where there are plenty of opportunities to "shine". However like any other large company management is slow to adopt changes and make decisions.

The Workplace/department was unprofessional
Production Operator (Former Employee), Rocky Mount, NC – December 10, 2012
Pros: great security, weekly pay
Cons: short breaks for 12hr shifts, poor supervisors, unprofessional
A typical day at work was hectic. Due to the long hours, the breaks for not long enough, Working for a temporary agent that don't support their employers. The point/absence systems sucks. Supervisor determines if the day counts against you or not. Which was unfair considering favoritism and seniority. The work was fairly easy! The hardest part of the – more... job when the machines were down and no work was available. – less

Productive work place but have It's ups and downs
Aseptic cleaning specialist (Current Employee), Rocky Mount, NC – December 4, 2012
Pros: free lunch for holidays
Cons: short breaks
A typical day at Hospira is ok, what I learned is advancing wellness through the right people and right products. Management is ok, but I feel like they should have a balance as far as caring about the people and their self. My co-worker are ok, but my focus is more so on my job and doing it the right way at in a timely manner. I'd have to say the hardest – more... part of my job is moving slow in the core, thats hard because I'm a fast worker. The most enjoyable part of my job is basically making sure I'm doing my job the right way, and making sure the customers get what they need! – less

Very easy repetitive work
Production Operator (Former Employee), Austin, TX – November 25, 2012
Pros: great people
Cons: not really great hours to work
It is a clean room environment in some departments so proper uniforms and cleanliness was always observed. You do wear scrubs as the uniform so you were comfortable while at work. I did learn the importance of proper documentation witch was a major part of any departments production. Ther was nothing really to hard about working at Hospira, just like – more... any other job, do your work and you'll have no problem. Management was fair to all and co-workers were great people to work with and thats what made it an enjoyable place to work. – less

Challenging to say the least
Support (Former Employee), Utah – November 25, 2012
Pros: good product and benefits
Cons: upper management leaves a lot to be desired.
Since being acquired by Hospira, TheraDoc has lost its lustre. Great product but most of the people who provided the clinical and technical expertise to create a great set of solutions have left. Before you go to work for them, be sure to do a reference check on the company from former employees.

Culture is different at TheraDoc than Hospira.
