Pros

Pfizer offers great benefits and higher salaries then you'll find working anywhere. Alot of emphasis is placed on colleague development and training, with plenty of opportunities to excel at your job. However, even if you are an excellent performer, with great GPM ratings and performance awards - you can't count on ANY job security - you can be severed at any time without any warning.

Cons

Pfizer used to be a great place to work, but for the last couple of years the axe is always swinging over your head. Will your site close, will current therapeutic areas exit your site, will your department have significant layoffs? And it just keeps getting worse. There is absolutely no job security and colleagues perform their jobs with a sense of fear that they will be next.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
