Here is the good and bad and no one can dispute this:
Good
Abbott Labs is a great company
Abbott Stock is doing well
We have a Top CEO Named in Forbes
Good Benefits and retirement plan
BAD
Abbott Animal Health Division is poorly run
8 unrealistic calls a day; they want quanitity over quality if you do a training day in the clinic or a lunch and learn you are still expected to make your 8 calls so there is no incentive for you to do them.
No Admin days ever. Not even one a month! so no time to plan, do expenses, field reports
Highest rate of car accidents because reps are trying to call accounts for appts btw calls
Performance plan threats if you do not make sales than you either get pushed out or fired
Loads of other admin work that you end up doing on the weekends because during the week you have zero time to do it.
So many people have resigned because they know it is going no where. Some were fired because they tried to express their ideals and discuss with HR some of the management threats. So yeah take some of the posts with a grain of salt, but if you keep seeing the same things come up than you have to think to yourself (there must be something bad if so many people are posting comments about it).
Good luck!
