Pros

Great benefits, great products, good training, good first level managers on average. good 401K benefits, nationally recognized products, good service to medical community.

Cons

Poor middle management on average, current sales strategy that is unwelcomed by medical professionals, poor HR follow up and communication. This organization talks like it has the best for its employees in mind, but that is only really seen on a high level basis, not regionally or locally. It is very common for DSMs to have 70-80hr work weeks 60-80% of the time and it is supported by management.

Pros

I imagine this is very dependent on line management but I find my team and supervisors to be true champions of a high performing and highly compassionate work culture. I find my work challenging and rewarding, and have had opportunities to learn and grow and be rewarded and recognized for my output. No job is perfect but I’m truly happy to work here and at a time when AZ is truly rising like a rocket.

Cons

Like any massive global corporate entity, things can sometimes move slowly and it can be challenging to navigate a high number of constantly evolving priorities and initiatives. That being said, AZ is very clear about its north stars and values which makes it possible to prioritize work that has the most impact and alignment with the company’s ambition and business prerogatives. 60% office attendance policy is also a bit funny when oftentimes I am on Teams calls with colleagues sitting in other areas of the world.
