Pros

Free lunch, casual dress code, hire inexperienced

Cons

The day I quit will be the best day of my life. They deceive you from the start. As a CRA, you're told training will last 6 months but in reality, it will take 8-10. The worst part is that you learn everything within about 3 months. The other 4-6 months of training will be spent sitting at your desk with absolutely nothing to do, so you will try to look busy just so no one reports you. Once you finally do finish training, they still don't have anything for you to do so they give you "rotations" which is literally just intern work. The company controls you with fear and power. They fire CRAs like crazy. Every single day you fear that it's going to be the day you finally get the axe, so it's hard to concentrate. The only thing I got lucky with is my manager. She is extremely nice. It is definitely very clear, however, that your progress in the company depends on how much your manager likes you. Oh, and I'm getting paid about 10k less than my colleagues who all have the same credentials that I do.

Watch your back

Pros

Flexible hours, free lunch (for now)

Cons

Watch your back here- the company apparently feels no loyalty to employees. After several years of good performance reviews, I was fired ("for performance issues") with zero warning and zero explanation! In addition, they are hiring a ton of people, to the point where they're running out of desks, and parking is an absolute nightmare unless you get there before 8:00am. They also prefer to give bonuses rather than raises, but some years bonuses just aren't paid out. In years that they are, members of a given team are in direct competition with one another for bonuses.

Pay is too low

Pros

Nice location, good reputation and friendly people

Cons

Pay is very low compared to industry standards. They falsely promise competitive pay at the website but in reality the pay is much less. So I am looking somewhere else. Healthcare is expensive.
