Pros

- Fantastic Work/Life balance if you don't insert yourself into demanding roles - Wonderful physical work environment - Northern Illinois facilities have credit unions, laundry service, fitness center, etc. - Tuition reimbursement programs - financial support and scheduling flexibility available for higher education options - Eventually, you'll find your niche - There is a plethora of opportunities at Baxter. There are a lot of internal shift/movement opportunities for those looking to try something new without leaving the business. - Community Outreach - Baxter does a lot for the local community and cultural institutions. Baxter employees benefit from the beautiful, healthy environment and are able to enjoy perks such as free admission to many museums and gardens.

Cons

- Occasionally feel like you're pushing a rope - Upper management does not always show appreciation for hard work - "Credit" for efforts often unjustly distributed
