Pros

None that I can think of while really trying to be open minded

Cons

Workload and expectation were too much for miserable pay, there was two aspects to my job, one that should have been designated to another department and was an absolute mess that I was expected to clean up while not having received adequate training (this was the part that essentially pushed me over the edge) I'm out of college over ten years and the pay was similar to what I received in my first job, I accepted the offer as I have moved location and needed something asap. Inundated with emails (impossible to keep up with) and meetings, pressured to join in on team events and socialize with colleagues to a degree I have not seen in other work places Pushed too far much too soon as was also made an area rep for a new system I did not even have access too, all while knowing nothing about the previous system, seemed like a position all the awkward and awful jobs were pushed on to Training too slow at the start and then pushed right into chaos. During the slow period with nothing to do, I had to pretend to read SOPs I had already read but I was just staring at my computer screen watching the clock, I was sat with my computer screen facing towards the room while having managers behind me and another manager in an office to the side Toxic company culture and not a huge amount of 'craic' in the open office, all very serious and you get the feeling you are being watched I truly regret taking this offer, it was the straw that broke the camels back and I will be making a career switch

Bloated organization with lack of innovation

Pros

Benefits, safe location, competitive pay

Cons

HR process is a mess with a terrible onboarding experience. There are too many people doing similar jobs so there is a lack of accountability and ability to complete work strategically and quickly (too many layers/micromanagement). Despite being a young company, "this is how we have always done it" is always tossed around, and most of the executives are legacy Abbott leaders so there is a lack of new thinking. It's a hypocritical culture of encouraging employees to provide ideas to then turn around and ignore/punish those who think differently.

Pros

pay & benefits, cafeteria, gym

Cons

poor Commercial culture, micromanagement, lack of trust, many people "hanging on by a thread," limited autonomy (personal decision making is often non-existent because each layer of leadership wants to be the "D" (decision maker) and in the know
