Pros

Ample parking and friendly security staff. Lot of good people who work there. Their jobs pay rate is top of the scale.

Cons

Lot of MAGA supporters who are not shy in expressing their political views. People there also love their GUNS! This facility in on its last leg. They are no producing new product through here and instead, build a new facility in another state. They already started to sell the rights to their drugs and maybe the plant will officially close in next few years.

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.
