Pfizer – “Great company - terrible location.”

Pros

Great pay and benefits.
Working for a widely recognized company.
Great amount of vacation time for new employees and a good amount of paid holidays.

Cons

Continual upheaval as a result of continual mergers & buyouts and downsizing.
Living in southeast CT.
Slow promotion process for high performing employees.

Advice to Senior Management

Pfizer leadership should consider letting employees work remotely. Many employees will leave Pfizer when they get the opportunity for employment elsewhere just to get out of southeast Connecticut. Southeast Connecticut has a high cost of living which is not justified by the mediocre quality of life that the area provides.
