Pros

Great benefits, ok salary, great job flexibility. You can manage your territory however you like. Lots of perks...car/gas/parking, computer, phone stipend each month.

Cons

Managers are, for the most park, very week and afraid to speak up. Extremely hard to move beyond the PSS phase into management. Lots of company politics. Check the box kind of job...being intelligent and wanting to engage customers can be seen negatively from a company that prefers you just deliver a message and grab a signature.

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.
