      I have been working at Pfizer full-time

      Pros

      Honestly the people and management are good and fantastic. There is no 'corp bs' you can truly be yourself and the environment is warm and welcoming. Very flexible with working times and you can achieve a work life balance (bit harder the higher you go however, they are advocates for Work-Life Balance) People actually care about you and their brand

      Cons

      Too many unnecessary processes that could be fixed Lack of growth - their turnover rate is very low and you are competing with people who have a number of years of experience so it is hard to become promoted

      Advice to Management

      Remove the complex processes and promote your staff or you will lose talent

      StarStarStarStarStar
      Former Employee - Anonymous Employee 

      I worked at Pfizer full-time

      Pros

      Overall a good company to work for.

      Cons

      Change in operations management style and approach can lift employee morale and performance

      Advice to Management

      You're biggest and direct competition is with the consumer. Time to review marketing strategy
