      Time for change.

      Pros

      If you want to work for big Pharma, it is as good as any. The benefits are comparable to the other big companies.

      Cons

      Terrible management and no respect for people. Arrogance in attitudes that Pfizer is superior, when in fact, it is not. Training is riduculous, and drags out for years.

      Not as good as it used to be...

      Manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits and pay and most of the people are great to work with. Company still offers a pension plan which is good considering most companies don't these days. The health benefits are very good and probably could not be matched by very many companies.

      Cons

      With all the mergers and acqusitions the systems aren't all that great. Need more emphasis on integrating all companies and systems together instead of patching things as they fail. Most of the systems are antiquated and need to be updated. Most of the manufacturing jobs are being cut in the US and sent overseas. Lack of execution trying to replace products that are going off patent.

      Great benefits and flexibilty if you are willing to "dance for the man".

      Pros

      Flexible work environment, you don't have your boss hanging over your shoulder. Great benefits - car, salary, 401k, health insurance. They do treat you well in terms of a severance package. So even if you get laid off you have plenty of time to look for a job. The car and free gas are the best perks - not having to pay for gas in this economy is a big bonus. If you get your work done then you can be home at a decent hour. They do have a good time at meetings - by that I mean lots of food and drinks and activities.

      Cons

      Lack of transparency, data integrity, quotas and rules are always changing. When reports are due they expect you to do them on your personal time. Some managers never tell you what you did well, only what you did poorly. They ask a lot of impossibles. Expect you to see no-see physicians all of the time. They have unrealistic expectations sometimes. POA meetings are the worst. A lot of time spent on preparing a 7 minute detail that you will never use. But if you say something you will be shut down. It's best to go along and just eat the free lunch.
