    I don't know much about Hospira but I've known a few people who work for Abbotts and they are quite good employers by all accounts. For factory work they operate 3 shifts, 8-4, 4-12 & 12-8 - that's as far as I know anyway. They open weekends but I don't know how they rotate the shifts. They often put on open days for family's and paid nights out - company stuff like that.

    Never knew they were linked but with the rate of takeovers nowadays it wouldn't surprise me if McDonalds was linked to Microsoft.

    Good luck with the applications.
