Pfizer, find your soul!

Business Outlook

Pros

The money and the benefits.The base pay is good if you have been with the company long enough bnut bonuses are lacking.

Cons

Stability, this company doesn't seem to know where it's going or how soon it will get there. Hold on for a roller coaster ride! Right now there is such turmoil. The managers are so worried about their jobs they are leaving us alone. Some division can not compare their primary product to the competition. It used to be compare and win, now it is hope and pray! If you think I am a "disgruntled slacker" you are wrong. I have 2 vpcs in the last 4 years. I just hate to see what this company has become compared to what it used to be.

Pfizer is still on the decline (but the stock is a good buy!)

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, Physical Work Environment, scattered talent

Cons

Chronic short term thinking on the part of management, attempts to be truly innovative fail, lack of trust in management, too many "hold-outs" at Pfizer that simply want to stay for fear they will find nothing else - brings out a culture of "yes" people afraid to rock the boat

Pfizer pay is commensurate with misery of working there

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is great. Benefits are great.

Cons

Employee morale is in the toilet. Management does not care about people below them -- they only care about people above them. There is no fairness nor respect for people which is made worse somewhat by upper management pretending that they care.
