      Pfizer: Trying to steady the ship.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits package is certainly attractive. Pfizer employees receive all prescription drugs free in addition to PPO and HMO plan options. Pfizer provides a generous 401 K match.

      Cons

      Pfizer's pipeline has failed to bring to market the necessary number of drugs to sustain a large sales force. Restructuring has been a common theme and will likely continue in the future. Pharma guidelines also limit the ability to market and promote products like a traditional sales force.

      Great place to work if you don't like working

      Pros

      No expectations since the majority are totally inept. The hours kept are minimal and the hours there are not required to be productive. The benefits package is very good and you can't beat the location - right near Grand Central. A typical day for any employee consists of back to back meetings so no work is actually ever really required of anyone. It's common to see people coming in around 10-11 am and leaving around 4 pm. Unfortunately, the co did away with half day Fridays and the company store. If you want a career where you can get paid for chair warming, PFE is the place for you.

      Cons

      Those same inept people eventually get promotions despite reporting fictitiously earned degrees from made up schools (Amerigus U doesn't exist!). Eventually it has a tremendous negative impact on the firm. It also disincentivizes the few valuable employees who are actually doing the work. PFE could fire half the staff and see no change in operations other than increased efficiency.
