Pros

Good place to get broad experience, good health benefits, easy to move into junior management position, stable company, no lay-offs, some very smart and dedicated people.

Cons

Management is totally top down, no employee development: Management view is stay where you are and be glad you have a job, VERY bureaucratic, lots of backstabbing and taking credit for your work, compensation has nothing to do with performance, promotions based on old boy network.

Pros

Lots of opportunity for advancement Truly believe in developing their employees Resources for management development through BioLife University. Forward-thinking company with great long range plans.

Cons

Although work/life balance is touted to be important, in a production/operations environment, it's not a priority-Baxter comes first. The higher someone goes, the more political the environment is. The higher the position, the more accountability and hours the person needs to be prepared to work to the detriment of any sort of family/personal life.
