Pros

1. Benefits- This is a company that gives employees more benefits then any other. Kudos to Pfizer for this great occurrence 2. Opportunity to grow- District manager interaction creates room for growth as a person. 3. Resources to do your job- Working for a large company has its benefits... including the budget we once had for doctor representative interaction 4. Teamwork- Many teams work hard together to achieve success and they are rewarded for this success 5. Respect-Pfizer respects its employees.

Cons

1. Instability- we fear we may loose our jobs every day 2. Lack of information shared from HQ- Employees have no specific information on the future of the company 3. Not enough accountability- Kindler has not once apologized or accepted responsibility for the stocks value or the company's lack of growth

Pros

The benefits are excellent. If you enjoy sales, then this position would be a great starting point. It does not offer any commissions, however, but like I said, it is a great place to hone in on your selling skills. There is not much room for advancement, unless you plan on becoming a sales rep. If you are interested in dealing with the human health division of Pfizer, you would pretty much need to locate to ishkibble in order to pursue a career change. Overall, other employees were very helpful and the management staff was pretty informative and often supportive.

Cons

You get burned out very quickly. You spend the entire day speaking with veterinarians who believe they are more educated than you, not knowing that most of us are college educated in the field of biology or vet medicine. The turnover rate was ridiculous because people got tired of being berated eight hours a day, 40 hours a week. The company offered a "quiet room" and most people spent their quiet time crying over some vet who insulted their intelligence. The management, though sometimes supportive, was always "by the book", not taking into consideration that everyone's situation is different. Management did little to retain employees.
