Pros

Great place to work as an entry level position if you want a career in clinical research. Probably one of the few places that teaches you vitals, ECGs (EKGs), phlebotomy, and biohazard material collection/ handling (mostly blood and urine) for free. BLS class is also free.

Cons

The employee satisfaction rate at this company is so low, especially among the associates. The pay is very low for the amount of work and I can't say it's worth it. It takes a long time to get signed-off on events and even then, the pay is low compared to if you did the same things somewhere else. Trainers get gift cards instead of a pay raise and they are taxed. Senior management speak badly of associates in front of other associates so it's easy to feel unappreciated. There is a lot of drama because a lot of the employees are younger. If you want to go to medical school or PA school, I would highly recommend you look into a scribe job instead.

Pros

Serves as a decent place to get baseline industry experience on your resume before moving elsewhere.The direct team leads and peer-level colleagues are understanding and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Client-facing demands combined with aggressive study timelines often lead to heavy workloads and long hours.Resourcing can be tight, meaning PMs frequently have to act as both strategic leaders and administrative coordinators. Quarterly updates are disconnected always touting quarter after quarter/ year after year revenue records while running their staff into burnout with the mentality of less is more or better yet "scalability"
