Pros

-Nice cafeteria; expensive food -Nice facilities; temp control an issue in some buildings -Nice Fitness center -work at home allowed for some positions

Cons

--Employees stressed with multiple projects -They give out lots of 2's in evaluations (needs improvement ) so they don';t have to pay out bonuses.Many employees shafted this year -HR is not effective and slow to respond to basic HR issues. Who ever heard of an HR that does not review job descriptions. Why let managers hire people who do not have qualifications for the position -hiring freeze in place -no travel allowed, people cannot take external training anymore and they also balk at paying tuition reimbursement -many people I know are looking for another job but feel stuck in Maryland with few career options/companies in the area -inxperienced managers; bad behavior bullying tolerated -AZ collaboration not working out

Pros

Top four reasons to work for AZ: Pay, Benefits, vacation time

Cons

If you are not part of the good ol boy network you have no shot on moving upward in your career, and you become a target for the tenured sales force (with managements blessing) to be the next one out. The back stabbing in the Albany district made it a horrible place to work.
