Pros

Can gain a lot of experience in the pharmaceutical sector. Would guess that as a new person just starting out, a great place to learn.

Cons

Has gone from first to worst as a place for reps to work in record time. The culture of smart, consultative representatives has been systematically beaten down and/or replaced with a huge "promotional" force of micro-managed box checkers. For the reps, by necessity the customers (physicians) are last on a long priority list - first priority is always the internal Pfizer customer - Management. The sheer layers of management are astounding. Sad, really.

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.
