Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility, vacation and paid time off, medical benefits, company car, pension, various locations, great for entry level for experience possible early professional.

Cons

Low salaries with small yearly increases, Micromanagement at its finest, Sales Meetings are a beating and accomplish nothing. Discourage reps from thinking on their own. Waste money on speaker programs that are not beneficial but if you don't spend money like crazy then management assumes you are not working.

Pros

AbbVie offers competitive pay, excellent benefits, and a wonderful team to work with.

Cons

AbbVie plans to begin monitoring badge usage. This method may not accurately reflect attendance and could have several drawbacks. Many employees travel for work at least 25% of the time and frequently attend offsite meetings. Additionally, the idea of being monitored could create anxiety for those who work in the office. Many of us are parents; for instance, what happens when a child is sick or schools close? Furthermore, since the pandemic, AbbVie has introduced more fully remote positions for new employees, and this new monitoring system for some employees, while others are exempt, could exacerbate the existing friction between office-based and remote workers.
