Pfizer – “Work here if you need a job in the short term, otherwise Run Away!”

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.

Advice to Senior Management

Why bother, they have seen the negative results of their self administered company-wide Gallup Poll over the past two years and have made no real changes other than planning to do away with the Gallup Poll.
