AZ was always Good to Me.









Retired from Az in 2010 and living the good life thanks to AZ. Recently attended Lollapalooza and saw Metallica! They can still kick arse! They ended the concert with Master of Puppets!,,,Stranger Things. Feel sorry for reps today. They missed the glory days of pharma.
 




















It would be a treat to have a national reunion for retired AZ reps and managers from the 80's and 90's. Back in the "good old days", we loved our jobs and customers. At the National Sales Meetings, we were treated royally by management and had big name entertainment! It was a great time to meet with peers across the nation and have great food and beverages! It would be fun to have an alumni meeting in Vegas and have a group like the Counting Crows play at our evening event . We made AZ Great!

Yeah, we’ll we cater better food. So take that.
 








I have catered over 2,000 lunches or breakfasts over the years. I have seen docs and nurses gain a lot of weight, and some have turned bitter. I seldom eat food at the lunch and learns. I have to keep my
"Girl Ish" figure. Ya Dig!
 








The above post is right on the money...AZ, was very good. I loved it, and made good money and great benefits. I loved the Crestor Launch meeting in Hawaii....it rocked!
Thanks for bringing up the Crestor launch meeting! It was a blast and management, back then, knew how to treat and motivate a sales force. I loved working for AZ - - - great people and products!
 








67 years old and I am now a member of the Metallica family!! Seek & Destroy baby!!!
My 37 year old son bought tickets for us to attend the Metallica concert in NY Central Park on September 24! The tickets are in the VIP section left of stage. If any other AZ alumni are attending, we will be having an Irish beer or two at The Coliseum about 2 hours prior to concert! Come join us! Ride The Lightning!!
 












I bet 10% of this company still has folks that have been here 20+ years and are just riding this thing out. Several still in leadership roles and managers and directors that don't do crap and have become dead weight. I wish those of you, and you know who you are, would just ride off into the sunset. You're what's the problem, hiding behind your old school relationships. Just look at the Southeast area and you will find many.

Don't "Ride off into the Sunset"....For Crestor it was "Ride the Wave with Crestor"....what a flop slogan..it lasted only a few weeks in the field.
But you are correct many mgrs' and reps just sitting back and cashing that Pay Check!
