Pros

Benefits are great, but low pay to balance that out

Cons

Little to no opportunity if you don't brown nose, or are not male Pfizer doesn't walk their walk, diversity and inclusion are all PR. Bullying rampant Managers are not trained at all, so really poor leadership Best place to work award is totally false, at least at my site

Pros

- Good Pay - Not too demanding - depending on the area, can lead to a good work life balance - Good Benefits - Health Insurance, 401K match and RSU's - Decent Bonus structure - Great place to hone your skills in commercial Pharma

Cons

- Leadership is all big talk and very little actual action - Culture is very toxic in most teams - everyone is constantly worried about losing their jobs - Very political in nature, have to be very measured in what you say - Meritocracy takes a back seat. As long as you tow the leadership line, you can get away with anything and everything - They say they encourage folks to be innovative and are interested in people continuing at Pfizer long term, but tenured employees have a racket and it is difficult to survive if you are new to the organization and enterprising.

Pros

When the work day end and the management clear you to go home. After working numerous amount of mandatory overtime hours unexpectedly everyday. The pay is more than average. For most pharmaceutical companies.

Cons

So, it so many downsides that attach to this place. I don't even know if I have the space or time to name all the cons. But as usual it start from the top and trickle on down the line. Making it the most miserable place to work. No matter what position you in. Trust me the money is not even worth the daily headache and the tears of discrimination of all kinds. The sanford site is a total mess and need immediate help for fixing. You are just a body with a number on it to them. Being treated like little kids and micro manage on the daily. This place is fill with a bunch of incompentent people in leadership and BEWARE alot of the will bullying, retaliate and harass the works they dont like. Until they quit, this goes on daily and very common. But they have a strong hidden policy of a no tally telling rule. It pretty much feels like high school days all over again. Also the place keep hire people that barely have a high-school diploma or Ged. They are not even focusing on balancing. The experience people with the non experience. After 2 years we still haven't got much done and still not making full production progress with making medicine in gene therapy. Enough said here just pass the word. Dont get traumatized by come to the sanford site. They are messy!
