Pros

One of the best reasons to work at Abbott would be that everyone really did know everyone's name and most managers were understanding about needing to take time off on short notice.

Cons

One less satisfying reasons to work at Abbott was that it was hard to be fully appreciated for what you did. They expected you to go above and beyond, but they had the nerve to give you an "average" - not great or even good - review to justify them NOT giving you a raise.
