Pros

Hire home-based employees with no previous monitoring experience, as long as the background implies that the candidate is trainable for CRA work. Also, I'm not usually traveling so much that I get burnt out. For me, the work-life balance has been fine. I do believe that my line manager and my CTMs have a lot to do with that. Expense reporting simple and completely online. No mailing in receipts.

Cons

Pay, pay pay. Low on the scale. They are also starting to get a little excessive with tracking billable time. I really think they need to budget their studies a little better and get off the backs of the CRAs who are already handling a lot of work.

You will be asked to work hard but seems to be the nature of the industry.

Pros

The hours are fairly flexible.

Cons

Management tends to give more work to the hard working folks. Work is not evenly distributed and lack of acknowledgement for a hard working individual. Feel like just another number.
