You’ll Learn How to Deal with the Most Drunk HR People on the Planet: If you're looking for a unique skill, Pfizer offers a great opportunity to master the art of dealing with the most bizarre, disorganized, and unprofessional HR team. You'll quickly learn how to handle complete confusion and still manage to get your work done despite the chaos.
If you're considering a career in HR at Pfizer, think again. There is absolutely no career path here. The lack of growth opportunities is staggering, and you’ll quickly find yourself stuck in a rut with no way out. My time in HR was a complete waste, primarily because of my direct manager and the abysmal learning environment. You will learn nothing, and you’ll do nothing—literally and figuratively. The tasks are monotonous and offer no chance to grow or develop new skills. It's a dead-end job that will leave you stagnant, with no real professional development to speak of. Your title in HR has nothing to do with actual HR work. When you try to interview for a new position at another company, you'll find yourself stuck. If they ask about your role at Pfizer, you’ll struggle to explain what you actually do because there’s no real work experience to back it up. You have a direct manager, but in reality, it feels like you don’t. If a member of your team tells you to do something, you’ll be expected to do it, with no regard for your position or responsibilities. There’s no clear leadership or guidance, and you’ll constantly be left to figure things out on your own. The management, especially at the HR level, is utterly incompetent. They have no understanding of how to manage or support their teams. It’s clear they are out of touch with what employees need to succeed, and their approach is outdated and completely ineffective. The salaries here are the lowest and worst compared to local companies. If you're looking for a job where you can actually earn a decent wage, Pfizer is not the place. The pay is far below industry standards and doesn’t reflect the work you’re expected to do. The culture is toxic, and you’ll have to deal with the rudest colleagues you’ve ever encountered. I’ve personally been treated in a rude and dismissive way by several team members. When I complained to my supposedly direct manager about how I was being treated, her response was shocking. She literally told me, “You’re replaceable, and your job is as competent as your salary. If you don’t like the situation, leave.” I honestly feel like some people are either drunk or on something, as their behavior is just bizarre. The level of professionalism is non-existent, and I often wonder if there’s something more going on behind the scenes. Most of my friends, when they send an email, are certain it will be read and addressed promptly. But at Pfizer, I’m sure my emails will never be read. And when I follow up, they’ll ask me a week later if I even sent it. When I send an email, and after three days, they ask me in the weirdest way, “Why haven’t you sent the email?” I literally want to scream, “What the f**k? I sent the email THREE days ago. Are you drunk or something?” People at Pfizer are drunk—there’s no other explanation for the complete lack of accountability or professionalism. If you stay here, you risk burning your career. You'll fall behind compared to peers in other companies, and you’ll be left with nothing to show for your time at Pfizer. Avoid this company if you're serious about advancing in your career.
