Pfizer World Headquarters

I would like to comment on Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and then on the whole medical community/​establishment. First of all Pfizer is one of the biggest lobbyists to politicians. They put money in politicians pockets and they get approved for any lousy drug to be accepted by the FDA. That is how politicians live a lavish lifestyle. In big homes and drive expensive cars. I personally think that the pharmaceutical companies, scientists doctors etc are one of the biggest corrupt industries in this country if not the whole world. Think about it. Diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s etc have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years. And with all the supposed research that scientists do no one has come up with a single cure for any of them. You know why that is? Simple the money for all the above mentioned is in the treatment, not the cure. I’m sure there are cures for many diseases. But with treatments everyone makes money. Big Pharmaceutical companies, scientists, doctors and last but not least hospital. Do you that when they give people chemo or radiation for cancer they bill medicaid tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. And for what all it does is get people sick and eventually they die anyway. The same thing with the drug aricept it’supposed to slow down the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. But eventually the symptoms catch on again and the person winds up dying. I personally feel that it is a damn shame when money comes before saving people’s lives!!!

Since this is Unilocal,why not talk about the food!
For 42^nd street, this cafeteria located on the second floor of building 235 (only for employees) is the best! In terms of price and selection especially in the area.
There are sandwiches cold cut or hot press, a daily assortment of meats which could range from salmon to steak cooked on the spot as well as a decent salad bar!
There is a pizza section as well as a pasta bar where they cook it right in front of you. If you wanted a small meal it will definitely not run over $ 10. And if you are deciding to eat the world that day, a meal would definitely not be over 15.

In the midst of all these reviews towards the company itself, I’ll actually write about the location itself. Pfizer occupies 235 and 219 E 42^nd Street. If you’re hovering around Midtown East, you can’t miss the building because there are huge and numerous Pfizer banners all around. As far as the building itself, it is pretty old, being that it was built decades ago, but still does the tricks. Cubicles can seem a little dated, but the conference rooms aren’t bad at all. For big meetings like quarterly reviews and such, there is a huge conference/​auditorium area downstairs. Just be mindful that the reception down there is pretty bad, so don’t expect to be making any calls.
For employees, all you need is your nifty badge, and you can get through the security doors. For guests, enter and make a left, and you’ll find the visitor check-​in area. All you have to do is put your bag through the security scanner, check-​in, and you’re good to go. Oh wait, a little more about the badge itself. With your Pfizer badge, you get free admission to all the museums in the city, as well as the zoo! If that’s not enough, you even get a 10% discount at Aroma next door. Small things, but it’s still pretty cool.
As far as the amenities of the building itself, there are a couple goodies here. There is the company store on the 1^st floor, where you can get all the Pfizer-​made goodies for 50% off. On the 2^nd floor, you’ll find the cafeteria. If you’re looking for cheap, pretty decent food, and not have to go out around Midtown East to search for something, then the Pfizer Café is your best bet. What makes this cafeteria even better is that if you come during its Happy Hour, then you get an additional 10% discount. I literally got a sandwich and a bag of chips here for like $ 3.50. You can’t beat that price anywhere. If you’re looking to work out, then Pfizer has its own gym downstairs. Need to grab some cash? Well, there are tons of Chase ATMs in the building, so no fee… as long as you have Chase.
Sweet building, great people, and overall satisfaction. Definitely enjoyed my time working here, as well as using all the things that this building has to offer.

I haven’t been in Pfizer headquarters since ’09 (I knew someone who did sales for Pfizer) and this is my first time coming to the conference room for an event.
I had a pretty easy time with the security and front desk (they do have an X-​Ray machine, so be prepared to scan your bag/​bags). Even so, the security and and front desk person were very helpful.
After showing my ID and getting my event badge, I followed the very helpful signs downstairs to the event and conference area.
After getting my snacks, water and coffee (all offered gratis!) I was able to plug into the Pfizer internet (so I could use Twitter and get online).
It is a nice set-​up, they even have live streaming of their conference events.

Pfizer, a pharmaceutical giant based in New York… oh I need a lot of help, thus pull out your prescription pad!
In my adult era, legitimately prescribed medications, which several were produced by Pfizer is no surprise. Rather than ameliorate my problems, the medications’ side effects created a whole canon of other problems to the scene which aggravate me to become vile. Nausea, excessive diarrhea, dry mouth, and dizziness are all the most common effects from your meds Pfizer. My morale has greatly declined on your reputation. These side effects greatly affect my daily deal of life.

Dear Pfizer,
Once upon a time, many years ago… I wrote you requesting a donation for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I requested a donation be made by you in memory of Stephanie V who had passed away from Breast Cancer. Stephanie was not much over 30, married and a mother to a little girl who she had adopted from an orphanage in Russia. She was also a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep. for many years who happened to work for YOU. More importantly, Stephanie V. was my best friend.
I just wanted to say «Thank you» for taking the time to have someone call me back. It was very considerate for you to say «No, sorry we already donate to many causes.» I realize it must be difficult to donate something as small as even $ 1.00 when you have to work so hard to make billions of dollars every week. So much work goes into making Zithromax for all those sick people, Lipitor for all those with high cholesterol, Zoloft for the depressed, and of course Viagra for all the guys who need that extra «helping hand» to get erect. It’s no wonder that you can’t make the effort to make even a small donation in memory of one of your loyal employees. I mean after all, you are the largest research based pharmaceutical company in the whole world.
Anyway, just wanted to say «Thank you» for making it so obvious that you could care less about the «little» people. Even the little people who worked their asses off to make you millions of dollars.
Insincerely,
Cameron T.
