Pros

You get to travel and devote your life to a corporation that does not treat the CRAs very well.

Cons

The work will consume your life. Management is not supportive of the CRAs. Quality is trumped by deliverables. The company is filled with unhappy people. It is a large revolving door and good CRAs end up leaving. The weak CRAs get promoted to management.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
