Anyone at Abbott able to clarify their PTO time for me? I read that first year it is 3 weeks. Is that also for experienced hires? 15 days is pretty low compared to my current job (20).

It is 3 weeks to start, but the company has a vacation buy week (so you can have 4 weeks, you still make more than you “spend” to buy the week and it’s taken out over several paychecks so you don’t really feel like you bought it). There is also 3 floating holidays that can be used whenever… so semi equivalent to 4.5 weeks off

3 weeks is pretty normal for most of industry?

I can confirm it is 3 weeks which to me is very low. Especially since I started at 19 days and had worked my way up to 6 weeks prior to Abbott purchasing our company. Abbott took me back down to 15 days with the increase in days not until year 11!! This has recently changed to the 6 year mark.

Thanks in advance!
