Pros

Right now I am currently saving the lives of others and is very proud if that. Pfizer working environment is clean and a safe place to work. You love it here!

Cons

Some of the downsides of Pfizer is moving up in the company. It’s pretty difficult if you don’t have degrees behind your name. Sometimes production is very slow. Some night u might not do any work.
