Pros

Free car parking - If you are allocated a space!

Cons

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!

Pros

Easy work and only 8 hour shifts

Cons

They are understand but expecting you to work with three people. Also, they are starting to take away benefits, but not giving anything back. Also, they just changed our hours very odd hours that took an hours pay from everybody. They don’t offer even a bonus anymore for the lower employees only the upstairs people get the bonuses.
