      Pros

      The benefits are excellent. If you enjoy sales, then this position would be a great starting point. It does not offer any commissions, however, but like I said, it is a great place to hone in on your selling skills. There is not much room for advancement, unless you plan on becoming a sales rep. If you are interested in dealing with the human health division of Pfizer, you would pretty much need to locate to ishkibble in order to pursue a career change. Overall, other employees were very helpful and the management staff was pretty informative and often supportive.

      Cons

      You get burned out very quickly. You spend the entire day speaking with veterinarians who believe they are more educated than you, not knowing that most of us are college educated in the field of biology or vet medicine. The turnover rate was ridiculous because people got tired of being berated eight hours a day, 40 hours a week. The company offered a "quiet room" and most people spent their quiet time crying over some vet who insulted their intelligence. The management, though sometimes supportive, was always "by the book", not taking into consideration that everyone's situation is different. Management did little to retain employees.

      Pros

      Pfizer's benefits are a plus. Pharmaceutical Reps are paid well and work schedules are somewhat flexible.

      Cons

      Pfizer operates like the military, but without the same job security. There is little employee empowerment or creativity, and the opportunity for growth and development is lacking. In addition, employees are treated very differently, depending on the Regional Manager and their style.
