Baxter reviews

Upon reading other reviews of various Baxter sites, I see that the culture which existed at my division is the norm rather than an exception. So I will summarize what I agree with. The company is in a constant state of change leading to feelings of instability among employees. Management is not honest about potential raises or promotions. They hire at the lowest wage that "the local market can bear". This lead to an unqualified workforce impossible to train. So the trainers were constantly reprimanded when employees could not perform their assigned duties. There was a very high turnover. This also leads to an unskilled and unqualified workforce. All of this makes one draw the conclusion that Baxter does not care about customers and patients at all or they would address these problems. All they seemed to care about is cutting costs and improving the bottom line for their stockholders. The future I see based on their business ethics is that the company will rot from the inside.

I really cant comprehend how poor of a work place/environment this is. Baxter is fast becoming known, through WOM, as a no-go area by those in the field and past employees. I am a professional in my industry for 10 years now and I have never experienced employee low moral and staff turn-over like it! Management seem to be in their current roles based solely on time served within the company. I was shocked at the attitude of management towards their staff. Management are completely unapproachable and sometimes can even be described as abusive. Employees within Baxter look at the company as a stepping stone/training centre for moves to other companies in the field who value their employees. In the production dept, new staff mainly consist of graduates who get a bit of (bad)experience and move on. Baxter must easily be the lowest paying Healthcare company in Ireland as the salaries are embarrassing, with no pay scale in place. I really can not emphasise how shockingly bad this place of work is. Surely, management must be held accountable. They even arranged for a 3rd party company to come in and evaluate why moral among employees is so low but did not act on any findings as they do not care about their employees. Training is shocking, you get a basic level and then are ignored from that point on. It is under resourced and current staff are overworked. There is shift work but do not expect the set hours to be adhered to as you will be expected to ridiculous amounts of overtime for little to no rewards or acknowledgement from management. Unless you are desperate for work I would avoid Baxter in Deansgrange at all costs!
