Pros

Decent salary, benefits, pleasant people.

Cons

Baxter makes a big deal of being included on multiple "Best Place to Work" lists, but I'm not sure what metrics are being used for that. The salaries are well below market value and professional development is minimal. You can work hard and meet/exceed all of your targets, but the chances of promotion are slim to none--despite the rhetoric constantly spouted about rewarding and retaining talent. It's even more pronounced if you are a person of color. Don't believe me? Check and see how many Blacks or others are in leadership positions. Even those in middle management are fleeing to other companies en masse.

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
