4-cycle, 24/7/365 shift with the worst ever turnaround, a.k.a. zombie Wednesday. It will wear you down and it will have bad effect on your life and relationships because you'll be always tired.
You will be expected to not only listen to corporate BS (Own It etc) but also be expected a role model of it.
High staff turnover in the environment where it takes years to learn the process means that you're training someone most of the time, not easy when everybody is barely functioning due to shifts.
Long queue of people with 10+ years of service with company looking for promotion so if you're new don't expect rapid progression .

Pfizer's hiring strategy (manufacturing staff) seems to be focused on keeping staff long term by being tied to company by circumstances. Typically they would be looking at 35 years old, married with mortgage and kids, probably commuting from area of low employment, without degree or with a wrong one, usually without previous pharma experience. There are exceptions, usually coming in through referrals.
In Manufacturing, they want workers rather than scientists and if you are a scientist, there's not much scope for development in manufacturing as processes are well established and would cost fortune to change. Look for MSAT instead
Some people can't handle physical requirements of the job such as making certain vessel connections
