Pros

HJF as a company is a well known company with great benefits. There are also some great people to work with and it was very diverse staffing. These are the ONLY pros.

Cons

If you're going to work for HJF within IDCRP, do not go to IDCRP at WRNMMC. Management runs everyone away. Multiple staffers left during my first 6 months there with the majority of them working for only 6-8 months or less. These were great workers, stressed out by management. Other staff went part time, while another takes medical leave for 3 months every few months, leaving all of the work to 2 coordinators who were overworked and underpaid. There's no room for growth except after years go by, when you're stressed and overworked already after 3 months. Lastly, there's no proper on-sight training because everyone there that can help, has quit and management will tell you they don't know and refer you to someone else, or tell you they don't know the intricacies of the studies and you'll be figuring things out yourself. Everyone past and present notes the management is causing people to run away, but nothing is ever done about it.

Cons

-Company cares only about tenure; merit-based raises are extremely hard to come by -Very little communication from HR about performance evaluations, COL increases, or raises; managers never seem to know anything -Poor career advancement and growth and pay is already not great -Team dynamics depend entirely on managers who lack basic project management skills -Without a budget for happy hours, people do not connect outside of work
