Pros
Within my department, I work alongside some amazing people. Every is always willing to step in and help no matter what the task. I’ve been very fortunate to have a Line Manager who is transparent with work performance and career growth.
Cons
The current role I am in has been non-stop changing. They split responsibilities amongst different teams to alleviate workload, however, with particular tasks gone, upper management has decided to award everyone more studies. This means the FTE is not based off of #of sites but based of # of studies. I now manage 250 sites which is unrealistic. There is also expectation that we oversee Associates and have to report study updates internally and to the Sponsor but this is nearly impossible now that we are not hands on with files. Not only is the workload not manageable but it’s the expectation to perform above and beyond while giving us more responsibility than an individual can handle. Going into the new headquarters in Durham, NC was nice given the in-person conversations and collaboration, however, I received multiple unfriendly looks from Executives just for using the printer. This should never be the first impression from working remotely to going into the office for the first time. Very displeased with the lack of unprofessionalism.
