Working at Baxter



Really....just spend a few minutes reading all the posts on this website. Not a single thing is a lie. Every sales division in this company is a disaster. No leadership and old products. You can gain some new skills if you are not currently in the hospital setting however, don't plan on longevity here. You'll be lucky if the stint lasts 2 years. Besides that, the culture is horrific! You would get more acceptance and direction from a class of preschoolers than people in this company. Never been in a company like it. Can you spell career suicide? It's spelled 'Baxter.'

Do not even think about a career with Baxter. The MD Division used to be special but now they do not even have National Sales Meetings. This event used to honor the sales people. Lester Knight used to have great NSM's because he knew how valuable the sales force was. Now it is all about controling expenses and laying off sales reps who are near full pension.

And don't forget that for the past two years Medication Delivery had tremendous growth and exceeded their goals, however, the senior management found it in their hearts to lay people off. And more are coming before 12/31 and into the 1sr Qtr of 2011!!

Stay Away!!
 
So true! All motivation is gone from sales force. This is what happens when management does not have a clue to what is going on. No respect for the sales force, never acknowledge the dedicated, successful ones. Could care less if talent leaves, as long as they can collect their fat checks and no one can identify how dysfunctional the whole bunch is. Used to be a company with morals that truly supported the team-not even close to what it was. Thanks to all the legends in their own minds!

This couldn't be more true! If you are considering a sales job with Baxter only do it if you are absolutely DESPERATE! Otherwise, RUN in the other direction! I just left the GACC (Anesthesia) division and it is the absolute worst. The leaders suck and couldn't sell their way out of a wet paper bag but yet run this division and seem to know how to foster success. What an absolute joke. I have worked for several pharma companies and this is by far the worst. The pay sucks and the management is even worse. RUN!!!
