Pros

Teamwork and co-workers are the only reason I stayed as long as i did. Benefits are OK not the best but not the worst. They have a great PTO package.

Cons

When i started at Hillrom I thought I was going to retire from this company. Ever since Baxter bought them out, ever since Baxter took this great Medical Devices company and have been going down hill. Direct hiring managers who have no clue instead of promoting within. Two weeks ago laying off 200 people in service. Now the people left are worrying about losing their jobs, and have to work harder for less money. CEO is a joke, you can't run a sevice department if you let go of 200 service technicians. Demands for FFS are ridiculous, you can't force hospitals to call us, even if they do we have no parts to fix the equipment. Constant pressure of performance doesn't matter if you were awarded service awards, they'll fire you. Save your time don't waste it with Baxter. You'll go no where but the employment office.
