Pros

Great people. No crazy hours, many career advancement opportunities, very good benefits. Very nice atmosphere and great work/life balance is possible.

Cons

The only con is that being so heavily regulated, innovation is hard to pursue. Risk taking is frowned upon. You will see “innovation” all over the walls, but the talk is not being walked.

Pros

I was fortunate to meet some good coworkers that made working there a little more bearable. It’s a good place as a resume builder which is basically what I used it for. The site is very big and I was working for a group that was involved in multiple areas of the plant so I did learn a lot. The site also has a cafeteria which isn’t half bad.

Cons

I think the site focuses a lot on just pushing product out the door and not caring about anything else. I get it, releasing product is obviously important but leadership likes quick fixes and ends up not fully addressing issues that occur. I had a team lead that should not have been a lead at all. I did learn a lot at my job but I learned absolutely NOTHING from her. She was always too busy buying clothes online and eating at her desk anyways. I felt like my team needed an actual LEADER who doesn’t complain about work life and her personal life every day.

Pros

I spent 24 years as a Pfizer rep and it was a very good job with pay and benefits that were as good as any in the industry.

Cons

Forget healthcare after retirement. My RX coverage next year was to have been $333/month premium. My drug costs $1,.00/mo,. I gave up on their healthcare plans a few years ago, but kept the rx because the coverage is excellent, but who in their right mind would pay $3,996 per year for $12.00 worth of drugs. This was a great disappointment.
