Pros

Good healthcare, nice operations staff.

Cons

Management and work life balance. Old site with terrible infrastructure and outdated systems. Refusal to upgrade / change / implement new systems etc. Lied to potential new hires about the shift structure, said it was Mon-Fri 8-5 salary job. Ended up being round the clock coverage with night shift/weekends. Asked to burn vacation time if operators couldn't cover a weekend shift. No overtime pay, no nightshift/2nd shift differential, no weekend differential. Horrific work life balance. Promote "culture" while refusing to listen to the opinions of their SMEs. Terrible nepotistic management structure.

Pros

Majority of people were caring, hard-working and team-oriented.

Cons

Mixed signals- push for results, but seemed to be at the expense of the patients. Corporate BS that made job less and less about patients, physicians and instead focused on feeding the iPad numbers to make management happy.

Pros

- Higher than average compensation - Amazing benefits - Good opportunities to grow with the company (if you are in New Jersey)

Cons

- Very little job security due to reorganizations every year or two / possible sale of the Division, etc. - Pockets of talented people, however it is not consistent across the org. - Rudderless ship; new strategies every other year with little / no progress to show for it. - Poor training organization (Pfizer, not just Consumer Healthcare)
