Thank you for your post. I was pleased to read that you enjoy your coworkers and the work environment. As a current employee if you have concerns about communication or mobility within the department, I would encourage you to reach out and discuss the topic with your manager. Overall, we do have a significant amount of employee movement either within or across our lines of business. So far this year we have had more than 100 employees move into new positions within Celerion. Once again, thank you for taking the time to post. Andrew Stringer - Exec. Dir , Global Human Resources

Pros

I've held multiple positions while at Celerion. Starting as a variable floor associate, then a benefited position, and lastly working upstairs. great co-workers - the relationships are what make it bearable, I've formed some great friendships while at Celerion, although there is a division between Clinic floor staff and upstairs staff (ie training, CCS etc) The opportunity for advancement is there but you have to seek them out and sometimes management does play favorites My manager was one of the best, he always looked out for us as individuals and as a team

Cons

- crazy hours, even though I no longer worked on the floor, I was still working 20+ in overtime every week, not a good work-life balance -working as a variable floor associate sucks, and I agree the hours (lack of) during the slow times can be difficult, at one time I had to get a second job -work expectations were a bit high for the amount of work and responsibility for the position I held with the pay and benefits I received, especially after learning that our sister site in Phoenix pays their CCS team the same and they don't have to do half of what we do. -additionally I was expected to fulfill all my responsibilities and duties while adhering to a no overtime restriction during slow weeks which is nearly impossible. Regarding the no overtime restriction - I understand the the big bosses upstairs only see the number of participants in-house; no participants, no overtime but that's nearly impossible to do when your job requires you to prep and get ready for studies weeks and months in advance
