      Pros

      It's still one of the largest and most respected pharmaceutical companies.

      Cons

      Very limited opportunities to continue working at Pfizer. I didn't feel like anyone outside of the group I worked in had any interest in talking to me about continuing to work for the company.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company is very innovative and often comes up with solutions to problems which have not yet been encountered. As I interend with them I remember recieving e-mails from Pfizer's R&D as well as other divisions. In previous jobs I remember low communication or poor decisions being made on a management level. While at Pfizer I was never dissapointed with an e-mail communication, often it seemed as if they knew exactly what issue or challenege that was on my mind and acted to on it before it created an issue. Pfizer also has very competitive pay and truly takes care of their employees, for a $46 Billion dollar company they do a great job of making workers feel valued. There was also a great feeling of independence in the role.

      Cons

      Company is very large and as a sales agent it can be easy to get lost in the shuffle if you desire constant one on one supervision or contact. There was also occasional misalignment between marketing and field force. Sometimes marketing may make great strides to launch a campaign and not value as much of the insight as what have may been valued that was offered by field force. There were not too many other downsides that I saw during my time with Pfizer. There could potentially be issues depending on what area or divisional manager that you are under as each have their own management style.
