Horrible Communication from Management

Pros

There are some great managers that want to help you prepare and succeed in the CRA role. Ample training to prepare for your transition.

Cons

The in-house CRA program is supposed to last 6 months and then you are promoted to CRA 1, however the company has not fulfilled that promise. They have paused the program through one email and have not communicated any timelines or held a Q&A session. Line managers don't have any information they can share and everyone seems confused. Some people who were promoted to CRA 1 still haven't received their promotion pay. Chances to get on-site monitoring experience are far and few in between.

Pros

None. None. None. None. None.

Cons

No retention strategy whatsoever for people with excellent year reviews. A bunch of people hired under the bridge program without any idea of what they are doing. Company will do all they can and will not pay outstanding PTO balance if you leave. Good luck with that. No exit interview. You only receive a generic email from HR and IT to return equipment. Even my manager was surprised about the horrible exit process.
