Pros
-Training program for new CRAs can help you break into clinical research. -Travel perks let you keep airline/hotel points.
Cons
- Noncompete agreement. To my knowledge, this is the only CRO that is willing to pay lawyers to chase after employees that leave instead of paying their CRAs/other employees more or improving employee retention. - High turnover because of low pay and poor management leads to a chaotic work environment. Very stressful and unnecessarily so. - They advertise 2-3 protocols on average and 10-15 sites. Reality is 4-6 protocols and 20+ sites. Requests to manager for workload reduction are brushed aside/ignored. - Work culture: Work/Life balance is terrible. Though they give you PTO and sick days, the workload they assign you makes it so that taking time off makes your return to work very stressful as it builds up. Many at the company just seem to think it's acceptable to work 7 days a week with no end in sight.
