      Pros

      -The travel bonus for this role is directly related to the number of site visits you accommodate throughout the year, so in addition to your base salary you can earn as small or as large of a bonus as you'd like, depending on how much you are willing to travel. -The free salad bar and drinks at the Cincinnati office are a major plus. -The CRA management has some exceptional leaders throughout, so you have a good chance of reporting to a very supportive manager. -The training is very comprehensive and provides a good foundation knowledge for anyone new to the world of clinical research, although most of the training for the CRA tasks themselves is learned on the job after you've completed the training. -The upward mobility potential for promotion within the company is huge, as the company is constantly growing and expanding. It is obvious that Medpace prefers to promote from within, and they certainly reward company loyalty and tenure.

      Cons

      -The training program, while very thorough, does not prepare you for most of the tasks you will perform day-to-day in the CRA role; so you spend several months in training, and then you actually have a lot of gaps to fill in once you start working in the role. -The reimbursement for company travel is only once per month, which is challenging when you travel a ton and have a massive credit card bill waiting to be paid.

      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.
