Monitoring Clinical Studies

Pros

Enjoyable and Interesting clinical trial monitoring work with challenging problems requiring troubleshooting and high level organizational skills. Regional home office based position with travel ~ 80% time.

Cons

Management has no clue who you are as a CRA, the turn-over rate is atrocious due to the burn out stress and the clinical team never discusses these issues, no work/life balance as travel, travel, travel is the mantra here.

No employee moral

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Due to the high turn over rate, you'll most likely get hired if you have ANY previous lab experience.

Cons

Basically, this company is extremely profit driven. They take on far too many contracts for the amount of resources and personnel they have. This creates and atmosphere with low employee moral and a very stressful working environment. Any employee 'senior group leader' or below pretty much spends their whole time running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
