Baxter Healthcare Employer Reviews

This is not a company that values creativity or dedication to quality of employees. Extensive travel is required and takes you away from having a life outside of work. Their expectation is that employees are robots rather than having expertise and adjusting instruction based on learner needs. There is also no job security as they are contract based. – more... Worst decision of my life to take a position with them – less

Good management , friendly atmosphere , team work and productivity

These 11 years spent at Baxter were challenging as I had a large portfolio of hospitals and patients. I enjoyed the fast pace of working with professional medical staff.

I enjoyed working with the Pharmacovigilance team. I had to send faxes on a daily basis to the Ministry of Health. I enjoyed working with the Director for RAPV and her team. I prepared Agendas and presentations as per her request.

I completed a registration and reservation for the Director of the Pharmacovigilance who attended a Seminar Downtown Toronto – more... with Hotel accommodation.

I received acknowledgement for the job and though it was a six month's contract - I enjoyed working with the staff and the Directors as well – less

Working at Baxter was a nice experience. Like any other job it has its busy days and its relax days. Participation, motivation, knowledge, humor, patience, strength, discipline, organization and a strong mind are requirements to succeed in this company.

As the Territory Business Manager, I'm responsible for sales activities in strategic accounts including expanding existing accounts and/or new account development.

I work out of my home but sale via account visits, email, phone, dinners, etc. I am the only one in my territory and am solely responsible for the bottom line. The hardest part of my job – more... is the long hours and lack of work life balance. The most enjoyable part of my job is the freedom, accountability and flexibility to truly manage my territory as my own business. I love sales and am empowered to make decisions that allow me to be successful given the specific challenges of my geography. – less

I enjoy working for the company and there is much room for growth.

I would initially go to my supervisor to ask for my work I will be doing for the day or week. My co-workers and supervisors were very nice, helpful, and welcoming.

I have learned a great deal working with Baxter and have made a lot of friends. They have exceptional training, benefits and opportunities for growth.

A very productive company where I learned how to follow the lean culture to have better results in my daily life.

Our employees around the world are connected by an enduring commitment to save and sustain lives. It’s this higher purpose that binds us as a company and as global citizens.

Great place to work as far as manufacturing goes. Supervisors care about employees, rules and regulations fair and clear. Great benefits, medical and 401K. Pay is excellent and competitive.
