Pros

If you are in sales it is a wonderful place. They do not make people work hard. Many of the hangers on make a career out of taking credit for other people's work.

Cons

You will not have many opportunities if you are not in sales. They do not value specialization; they want everyone to be a generalist. Hard work will work against you.

Pros

As a non-white-male employee, I was not discriminated against. The benefits package was good and we were given company cars. PTO was fair and for a little while the bonuses were decent.

Cons

The marketing decisions of upper level management were extremely poor, putting sales reps at a disadvantage. Also, the price-fixing violations hurt the reputation of the company and undermined the integrity of the sales team.

Pros

Good environment with young talented group of individuals. AZ is very focused on employee engagement and developing talent within organization.

Cons

Poor future outlook for company due to depleted pipeline and mature portfolio on verge of patent expiration cycle. Low company moral due to multiple layoff cycles within last few years.
