Pros

The CEO is seems like an incredible person from everything I’ve seen. The company is respected.

Cons

Where to begin? First off, if managers are leaving a review to bolster ratings, they should be a bad sign to everyone. Things have been going from bad to worse over the past several years. Here’s some lowlights: You are expected to to work nonstop. There’s maybe 1/3 of the amount of people working in roles and departments compared to what’s really needed. Abbott could care less about you as a person. This was made abundantly clear in their COVID-19 response. They forced everyone back to the office and take attendance daily. There were no exceptions for employees who’s elderly parents live with them, schools not being open, sickly family members, etc. An entire team, people that had been with the company for over 10 years, were ambushed with their termination. They were fired because a higher -up executive didn’t like them. 2 of those people were over 60. All during a pandemic. It’s shameful and disturbing.
