Cons
Speaking from my personal experience working as a CRC in the Clinical Trials Office (ABMT), the large amount of work, the lack of guidance and training can make this job challenging. I unfortunately was assigned a very unhelpful and unfriendly supervisor and this greatly undermined my success in this company. A lot of the CRC's complain about how unhappy they are, the workload is high, there is little to no training when assigned protocols, but management expects you to know everything about the protocol. My supervisor whose role is suppose to be support and guidance, was very mean and unfriendly towards me and when I asked for guidance I was often met with a condescending attitude. What hurt me the most was that I proactively tried to address this issue with upper management on multiple occasions and this led to my termination with no explanation.
