Pros

Good benefits-for now... Get an opportunity to work with some really competent people, and get to work with people from the other side of the fence as well...

Cons

- Production workers afraid to report injuries because of risk of losing job, in spite of Pfizer's rants about an open policy. - Company won't allow any current Pfizer employee to give a job reference to departed employees, they can be fired for it. Yet Pfizer requires incoming job candidates to provide references from previous employers..... -Constant bickering, turf protection and silo behaviors within and between departments, divisions, and sites. -No real integration between Pfizer and the companies it has acquired, other than gutting them out and dismissing as many of the 'outsiders' as possible. -Globalization of the business will continue to decrease stateside opportunities in the future. Don't plan on staying there.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
