Pros

Through my career they have always been fair and ethical. Even now as the company is downsizing they provide a good severance package and benefits extension. Benefits are better than most companies. I hope they can come up with more new products to keep the company financially healthy.

Cons

The future is cloudy to say the least. We have a product major loss (Lipitor) in 2011 and not much coming behind it. Everything is being cut to save money. Job security is not good but at least they do a good job of providing severance and job assistance if you are let go.

Pros

The benefits package is certainly attractive. Pfizer employees receive all prescription drugs free in addition to PPO and HMO plan options. Pfizer provides a generous 401 K match.

Cons

Pfizer's pipeline has failed to bring to market the necessary number of drugs to sustain a large sales force. Restructuring has been a common theme and will likely continue in the future. Pharma guidelines also limit the ability to market and promote products like a traditional sales force.
