Pros

Can make your own schedule No holidays or weekends ( unless a patient needs a virtual training) WFH 2 days a week All virtual/ no in home visits Upon hire you are ‘spoiled’ with goodies from the company and customer. Great support system from team mates. Very welcoming environment. Direct managers are awesome to work with- upper management has lost complete sight of day to day.

Cons

In office 3 days a week. Must be in office on Wednesday. Constant Employee turnover and absolutely no introspective look as to why nurses are leaving. No employee loyalty incentives. Bonus is based on meeting certain goals- in order to meet those goals you will have to work weekends and holidays. Cannot expense home office equipment ie extra iPad stand, ring light ( virtual engagements are pushed). The nurse ambassador program is NOT treated with the same perks as the rest of IQVIA employees- if you hear someone raving about the unlimited PTO, remote work, work/life balance, company paid dinners/holiday parties/team building events- they are not nurse ambassadors. For a company that makes billions of dollars- they do not budget for retaining nurses.

Pros

Full time benefits are ok. flexible vacation time but on discretion of managers then judged on return about deliverables even if sick leave.

Cons

Extreme micro management of managers and like a sorority culture with no benefit of doubt even though deliverables met . Not a good place to work ,they work you till you fall apart then try to say you are not up to the standards. Very difficult for promotion or growth unless you are "favored" by the superiors!!

Pros

- Pay is ok, although a significant portion is tied to bonus - IQVIA is a well known name, so likely looks good on a resume - Work from home 2 days a week - Mostly good coworkers who want to help patients - 21 days PTO plus holidays

Cons

- If you want to meet your metrics, you will work evenings, weekends, and holidays to work with patient schedules. - If you don't, you will hear about it and be threatened with a performance improvement plan. - Your metrics (and your team's) will constantly be compared to coworkers. They are obsessed with numbers here and they want a competition. Kind of like pharmaceutical sales, but without the pay. - You will be pressured to do injection training with every patient even if they have already received injection training with their HCP. - You will be pressured to meet quotas for video calls. - You will be questioned if too many new enrollments decline ambassador follow up (even though it's voluntary and enrollment is not always patient initiated). - You will be micromanaged and have meetings every 2-4 weeks with your managers, which involves them listening to your video and phone calls, reviewing metrics reports, and setting an improvement goal for the following month.
