Pros

OK pay Good paper towels Freedom to work at your own pace Now I'm just typing to satisfy the 20 word minimum Pfizer GROTON is bad. Pfizer anywhere else may be ok

Cons

Not sure how long you'll be there. Pretty much month to month Everyone is scared for their jobs Somber atmosphere Everyone is looking for jobs elsewhere Hard work doesnt get noticed by management If they're gonna lay you off, they will. It doesn't matter how hard you work

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.
