Pros

Free food provided for lunch everyday. I believe intentions were good in the beginning but greed and the true hollowness of the CEO and his minions took over.

Cons

Too many to convey here...just read some of the other reviews and you'll get the picture. All are true. And if you are one of the favored ones, it's just a matter of time before the ax will fall in some sort of way. A week, a month, a year, or after several years. For the minority individuals that come in there to interview for the clinical trials, the white personnel and doctors regard you with disgust. They need the trials to be racially balanced, and advertise for your participation, but they don't see you as a human being, but just a poor, black, ignorant person. This organization is headed by a racist bunch of white elitist where their only motive is money. They do nothing for the surrounding community unless it's to benefit their bottom line. I was at one of the "state of the company" meetings where an employee suggested we sponsor a back to school campaign for the students at JP Parker school, which is right across the street from MP. He said no, if you want to donate your time and money fine but this organization won't be involved.

Pros

Coworkers are willing to help you and answer questions.

Cons

Abysmal pay for industry standards. Work will be piled on continuously. More and more studies. Forced to present impossible timelines. And then you have to speak to why these timelines were not met after the fact when it's outside of your control. Travel expectations thrown at you with a couple days notice. CEO micromanages the entire company. They track when you badge in and badge out of the building. You have to badge out to exit. Upper management throws you under the bus in front of sponsor despite agreeing with you in prep call and telling you they will have your back. People here work crazy long hours late into the evening and think it's normal.
