Profits over people ALWAYS

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Somewhat competitive salary considering cost of living in Chicago lower than top tier cities

Cons

When push comes to shove, Abbvie will always choose profits over people. Case in point: asking people to return to work and expecting that things go back to "pre-covid" when WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC. Really disappointed that the company always pretends like it has a heart when it should just be honest that all it cares about is MONEY. KA-Ching$$$

Bad decision making on people they hire

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

pay was great, profit share was great, benefits and paid time off sick pay

Cons

Sups are not all on the same page, Hire people who have no experience but only come in for the benefits than leave after 6 months, and take down good employees with them, Fire people for no reason at all, make up reason to let people go, no proof of why they are firing you, no second changes unless your in the "CLUB" so to speak

Good package but not worth the bullying culture, I am struggling with cons other than they have good products and really good sales people shame they can’t retain them

Cons

Bullying culture and ineffective management , if your face fits culture . Horrendous management with zero people skills which was reflected in the GPTW survey
