Pros

Good manager, good teammates, good benefits, decent pay, decent PTO, territory size is manageable, company car, cell phone paid, gas, insurance, maintenance all paid for.

Cons

Nearly impossible for salespeople to promote to higher levels within the company (career ladder, oncology, biologics). Company does not value internal promotion whatsoever and they would rather hire externally. Sales goals are nearly impossible to achieve, and sales leadership does not seem to care at all about motivating the sales force. There is next to NO recognition or reward for salespeople. They won’t promote salespeople internally, but the same sales leadership people keep getting promoted, despite them making extremely poor decisions that negatively affect sales. They always blame the salespeople for bad sales but never take any accountability themselves.

Pros

There is a free commuter bus to cambridge train station.

Cons

You are micromanaged by managers with very little global pharmaceutical experience. Its a company culture where there is little to none opportunity to be promote and develop your career.

Pros

Good pay and benefits right out of college.

Cons

The PSS role at AZ quickly becomes mundane and boring. If you are okay with a checkbox culture with few opportunities for creativity or critical thinking then the PSS role at AZ is for you.
