What is the salary like at Baxter?

Some coworkers were nice and it is near public transport

Horrible management, very high turnover due to bad management as well as overworking employees (some would start as early as 3am and finish at 6pm, and evening shift went 5+hours overtime), no sleep days if you work overtime, poor training, lack of trainers, favouritism from the managers to towards people from their home country, poor pay for the amount of work, employees (mostly new people who are unfamiliar with labour laws) are too scared to unionise and get better pay for fear of retaliation, physically taxing to the point that most people have some sort of leg or hand related injuries

Good pay and lots of overtime

Toxic management, they dont listen and treat you like you dont have life outside work

Company vehicles- however the company recently started to increase the fee that's handed down to the employee to offset some of the cost of the car. Flexible hours so long as your customer is OK with it first. The position seems to be pretty reliable over the years. I haven't seen layoffs at the FSE level.

As a FSE, you are vastly underpaid at Baxter for your responsibilities working on critical care equipment. You are signing off on a instrument you service and sometimes that same device will be rolled back onto a patient within the hour. If something happens to that patient, the onus will be on you along with the company, though mostly you. Be prepared to be scrutinized over such patient incident while getting paid somewhere comparable to a cable man installer with far less liability. The responsibilities for this job just doesn't align with their starting salary structure, period. Shameful. You have wait for someone to retire or leave for the chance of becoming a senior FSE. If there is another senior level in your area, you cannot be elevated to a senior as well. The company has put out this notion that this is not the case anymore but I've yet to see this very fact get disproven. Guys in the field justify their lack of fair salaries by working longer hours, but even that over the past year the company is hammering back on overtime a great deal. And of course work/life balance comes into question whenever you're relying on some overtime to make a decent living. Worst of all, the supervisor for the North east coast is novice at the leadership position as well as forgetful. Two bad combinations. Also doesn't expound and elaborate as others normally would when given out instructions, so you're sometimes left with an awkward silence over the phone thinking more is still left to be said. Would not recommend this leadership at the local level.

Great organization, good pay and amazing management.

Too much overtime required especially before public holidays

Good company and culture and support innovation ideas and salary is good.

Hiring process is very slow.

Good company, good benefits and good pay

Lots of changes as Baxter took over previous company. Lack of communication.

Good work life balance, good salary, good office and team mates

Office cabs are paid, micro-management, only foreigners are the boss

Good work life balance, decent pay.

Benefit custodians are a nightmare to work with, lots of outside hiring (not much promotion from within), and constant change in upper management results in little to no progress ever being made as priorities are constantly shifting

Good pay and opportunity to prove oneself

large factory led to isolating feel.

Good pay and good benefits

Can be very hot or cold depending on where you work
