Poor Communication and Training

Pros

Excellent opportunities for career growth.

Cons

Lower-level managers with few people skills brow beat workers in lieu of training. Managers with little or no training skills or experience in an on-boarding situation ask new hire thoughts, then ignore what they have to say, but use those comments are reason for termination. Senior managers and directors allow this to keep the management team happy. In the end, AZ loses out on people who love the pharmaceutical industry and are willing to learn, offer flexibility and dedication. New hires should be trained by people who know how to train new hires, and that's different from an industry training session in a conference for vendors. If the people skills matched the salary outlook at the company, it would be a great place to work!
