Worst experience ever! - Recensione dipendente - Administrative Assistant presso Pfizer

Pfizer got rid of most of its administrative staff so that the execs could keep their jobs and hefty salaries. In return, they all agreed to become administratively independent. Unfortunately the execs still believe that the one and only team assistant is their personal assistant and require instant responses to their demands even though the one and only assistant is receiving similar demands from 20 other people. They try to get their demands met instantly through chastisement and badgering, which is a sub-optimal management style. If the one and only assistant pushes back, s/he is maligned. Believing that the company can function properly without adequate administrative staff is misguided. There are too many bad business practices to track here, so I won't get into the sadistic systems. Suffice it to say that Pfizer has become the Walmart of the pharmaceutical industry. Administrative candidates and AstraZeneca beware!
