Great Benefits, Bad Pay and Forced Overtime

Pros

The benefits are great. They take employee health and safety very seriously. Managers really trust their employees; they have many methods in place to check your department's efficiency without feeling like you're being micromanaged.

Cons

The pay could be better. 10 years ago, the pay was probably highly competitive, but that is no longer the case. They really need to adjust wages to better fit with the current cost of living. Furthermore, the plant is open 24/7. This includes holidays and weekends. Most people I run into work 12+ days in a row (myself included, it's rough). It would not be difficult for them to cease production on weekends and holidays, but they refuse to do so. They constantly make decisions that force us to work more/longer without considering that we are actually people with lives outside of Pfizer.

Pros

Training Benefits (included when I joined pension back then)

Cons

spent too much money on launch of new products back in the 90s and should have spent less to make it through blockbuster patent expirations until next blockbuster fda approved
