Pros

You'll definitely get hands-on research experience, similar to that of a research-oriented masters program.

Cons

Clinical research coordinators are undervalued and undercompensated. If you're in this role, know that you will do most of the work for a study (or multiple studies) and get little to no praise or recognition. Most PIs are concerned only with their study accrual numbers and getting their next grant. Burnout is possible in this position. This position is largely seen as a stepping stone to getting into a Masters or PhD program. If that's not one of your goals, I would advise against going this route. However, if you are really inspired by the mission, you might enjoy it. If you are detail-oriented, hyper-organized, self-motivated and prefer behind-the-scenes work you might like this job but only for a year or two.

Pros

A lot of people to work with and a great amount of exposure to different in-house counsel areas. If you are proactive, there are plenty of people willing to try and meet with you and explain things, though their time is limited. If you can pick at their brains, the Attorneys of the smartest and most hard-working individuals you'll meet. They have some fun events and team-bonding,

Cons

Lack of diversity in interns, which make fit and experience difficult. Even upon meeting diverse staff and people, there always seems to be a barrier and front. Attorneys generally have little time to teach you, but they do their best. Compensation is lackluster, but benefits and events are fun. Sometimes work can lag, and you must be proactive in seeking it out for yourself.
