    Is it a requirement for all Pfizer reps to dress as if they're attending a meeting at the White House? I've never seen so many uptight, stiff reps. The poor women are always wearing hose, suits and pearls.

    Yes, Pfizer reps generally look like penguins.

    Fortunately, I was with Wyeth Vaccines when they were acquired by Pfizer. With the exception of ride-alongs and meetings, I never wore a tie for my last 2 years before I retired. I always had a top territory. If you think about it, when's the last time you saw a pediatrician wearing a tie?

    I think the rule that should be followed is to dress as your customers dress. If they wear suits, so should you. If they don't - don't.

    Remember - Pfizer reps are robots. They march as ordered and can not think for themselves.

    Image is everything. If you dress like a slob for a call then your company is perceived to be questionable. Hairy chests and gold neck chains and casino rings when out with the seventies.

    You must wear a short-sleeve white shirt, a solid color tie, dark trousers, dark socks, dark shoes and Mormon underwear. If you have an urban territory, a Huffy bike with nobby tires is optional.

    Suites are long dead.

    Our providers, the entire office staff and our competition are laughing. It's embarrassing to walk into an office and give the impression we make all the money when a patient can't even afford the product we push.

    Suites are long dead. It's embarrassing.

    What a stupid troll. 95% of reps from all pharma companies are dressed in business attire. It's not "suite" moron. Of course you always have a few slobs running around with no jacket, wrinkled dress shirts that have not seen a dry cleaners in months, slacks that don't seem to fit correctly, and can't seem to correctly wear a tie. You also see a few device reps that don't go into surgery running around in scrubs, pretending to be a doctor. There's always a few donkeys in each industry.

    The Pfizer reps in my city wear hose. Suits. Pearls. Every single day. I never see the reps even take off their jackets.

    Seriously, you think if a rep doesn't wear a suit, than they must dress like an Italian stereotype?

    If you think dressing wearing a suit is the key to success we're in BIG trouble. If they company agrees, Pfizer will be obsolete in 2 years.

    I wear slacks and a dress shirts every day, and you know what, my Providers still write Celebrex! It's weird, I don't wear a suit and I still do well. hmm, maybe it's skill that matters, not wardrobe.

    Dress is important. Growing up, all I got was hand me downs..I didn't mind much, except I looked silly going to school wearing my older sisters tube tops. Now that I can afford nice clothes, I splurge. jCP just had suites on sell for $89.00. I got a blue one, a tan one, a black striped one, a green one, and a maroon one. I got some nice shirts on sell for $9.99 and fancy ties on sell for $8.99. I look like a million bucks and it didn't cost couch at all. Appearance matters. We represent the greatest company on the face of the earth. We save lives. Doesn't that mean something to you? Go shopping and look sharpe. It can only give you're reputation a boost in the field vs are competitors. DRS respect s cause we r Pfzer, not some schlep Merck or Nov. Or Forest.

    Business suit does seem to be making doctors and patients wince in the last few years. I think that an option for men should allow a quality sport coat, dress pants and a collared shirt with no tie. Some companies that have relaxed their dress code lately have some reps looking way too casual, even sloppily dressed. Suit and tie is probably outdated for our current business model and softening it a bit would likely be a good thing to try. Does anyone know where to find the current dress code??? I've searched Pfieldnet and various colored books and cannot find it. I'm not sure it even exists in writing. If you find it, let me know!!!

    The dress doesn't matter at Pfizer because in a matter of months they will reduce you to nothing more than a shell of a person who might have been at one time good. The two things that matter most are the nose and the teeth and here are a few reasons why. Nose. 1. Must be comfortable with it growing longer as you claim superioty over those that you compete against. 2. Must look good in brown. For some and you know who you are. This is the same color as the rest of your body. For the others you will obtain this color by endlessly placing it up the ass of the managers and customers of whom you will service. The mentality of this company rings of the statement our President once said. "You are only sucessful because we made you that way". In the everyday grind be prepaired to show managment that you aer willing to tell them how great they are and insert nose where suggested. This now brings me to teeth. 1. While most people enjoy a full set of teeth. At Pfizer you need to have a few gaps. The reason is becaue you have to be willing to lie thru them. They also come in handy when you ask a question that nodoby wants o anwser. Eating shit is a lot easier when you can chew it before it goes down. 2. Some may opt for less teeth as directed by their mananger. They might leave marks as they blow for that next promotion. T and K are great examples of what it takes to move up the ranks here. Any combonation of these two can come in handy when attempting to climb that corprate ladder. The last requirement and many that have served this company for any legth time have alrady achieved this. The ability to shove your own head up your ass. This is because if you stay here and try to do all the things they ask you you must have achieved this goal already. Dress code? Even the grim reaper wear a robe, and he still is the grim reaper reguardless of what he wears. Every Dec. he will continue to pay his visit with a different set of metrics to decide who stays and who goes.

    The women already have many, many comfortable options vs. men in suits and ties. Lots of interest in this thread. I hope HR or someone notices, never hear anything about it or see it on any engagement surveys!
