Pros

cafeteria food is decent. co-workers make the day go by faster and can be nice

Cons

horrible pay, management micro manages everything, pay is very low! call center employees are forced to work in other departments constantly with lesser pay. you can't go to a manager and complain about things going on out of fear of being an outcast. management is oblivious to problems and issues going on throughout each department. office morale is terrible which is why there is such a high turnover rate

Thank you for your post. I was pleased to read that you enjoyed your co-workers and that you had interesting work. It is unfortunate that you felt that the healthcare was not great. We review our benefit offering annually and continue to make enhancements to the plan including offering both a traditional PPO and a high deductible health plan w/a health savings account. It is good to know you appreciated the 401(K) match. Andrew Stringer - Exec. Dir, Global Human Resources

Pros

I am fairly new, but I believe my position is the lowest of full-time benefited positions. Pay is decent ($15-18 according to glassdoor), hours are flexible. There are certain times you need to be here at odd hours but basically you know your job and make your schedule around getting your job done, which is awesome. I could see how entry level folks in the clinic could be frustrated with lower pay and weird schedules (less flexible for them), but medical research is so complicated and they aren't involved in the planning, logistics, and set-up. They just collect their piece of data at the right time and while that is very important, it doesn't require the higher pay range. They generally promote from within, and I feel like there's always room to move up or switch positions to something that's a better fit for you. Everything has a strict protocol, which is good for me because once you learn, you don't have to worry about being creative enough or doing the right thing at the right time--they tell you. The training department is super helpful. Everyone I've met seems great and super willing to help you out.

Cons

Without experience in the medical field, it can be awkward working in the clinic until you learn to be sure of yourself and professional about bodily fluids and touching people. Like I said above, sometimes you need to be here at 5am or 11pm or for a few hours on a Saturday, but you'll know in advance and be able to plan for it.
