Pros

Flexible hours Work from home once a week

Cons

Understaffed - leads to lots of work and projects, over your contracted 37.5 hours a week. Closer to 45 hours

Pros

Salary Science can be life changing for patients

Cons

No interest in decades of field sales experience that might alter their ill conceived plans designed at the office that are based on people they paid to answer questions, and data they do not understand. Management changes constantly and raising concerns can get you fired from what I can tell. "Patient-centricity" is very selectively applied, when financially convenient.

Pros

AZ is a big well known company. Comparable perks in terms of car, pay, expectation. Benefits are good as well as pension. Some amazing people work in the field - if you are lucky, they will hang on.

Cons

Discouraging environment if you are a woman in sales. Men are recognized and offered advancement opportunities but it’s safe to say I know zero high performing women sales reps who have been promoted. If you are a man who worked with a director or manager at another company you will be celebrated & promoted for doing less & unethical behaviour. It’s a revolving door of managements friends who backfill anyone who leaves. Leadership is done through intimidation and being told you are lucky to have this job.
