Pros

Strong benefits package, 125+ year old company, limited advancement opportunities, competitive salaries, conservative financials, growth opportunities in global markets, focus on health care and nutritional products, not afraid to acquire new technologies

Cons

Too conservative, slow moving, too many layoffs, management decisions dominated by Abbott Park lifers, no product pipeline, weak leadership at the divisional level, no internet presence of note, too many directors, archaic annual review process

Good company but has become all about the money

Pros

Good benefits. Good products. Lots of good people that work hard.

Cons

Has become all about business. Moral has dropped as constant layoffs, restructuring, merging of services and outsourcing has taken a toll on its workers. Constant motto has do more with less. Underlying thoughts are that long term employees are not safe from being eliminated just to eliminate from payroll and pension costs.

Pros

Workers are okay, mostly positive.

Cons

Small group acts like a big. Management microscope workers daily, but never understand who does what and who knows what.
