Poor leadership, crazy metrics and little to no work life balance

Connect health and science representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay for the area, remote every other week and good benefits

Cons

Connect is more of a call center and not pharmaceutical sales. I was excited to work for a prestige companies such as Pfizer but the Connect leadership only cares about quantity not quality. Every few months our expectations for our calls, virtual interactions and sales are raised and at this point they are pretty much unachievable.

Pros

Benefits are great, but low pay to balance that out

Little to no opportunity if you don't brown nose, or are not male Pfizer doesn't walk their walk, diversity and inclusion are all PR. Bullying rampant Managers are not trained at all, so really poor leadership Best place to work award is totally false, at least at my site

Great Stated Mission and Branding, Fluid Organizational Structure - Too Many Chops/Changes

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good Pay - Not too demanding - depending on the area, can lead to a good work life balance - Good Benefits - Health Insurance, 401K match and RSU's - Decent Bonus structure - Great place to hone your skills in commercial Pharma

Cons

- Leadership is all big talk and very little actual action - Culture is very toxic in most teams - everyone is constantly worried about losing their jobs - Very political in nature, have to be very measured in what you say - Meritocracy takes a back seat. As long as you tow the leadership line, you can get away with anything and everything - They say they encourage folks to be innovative and are interested in people continuing at Pfizer long term, but tenured employees have a racket and it is difficult to survive if you are new to the organization and enterprising.
