      My personal experience has been bad, but I know how to play office politics now.

      Pros

      Go out and drink at lunch 3~4 days a week, and answer 5~6 client e-mails a day and have still been able to fly under the radar.. Honestly, favoritism is in full force. Those who kiss up, move up faster like me. It’s really as simple as that.

      Cons

      Honestly, the quality will suffer. We brag to our clients about our quality but if they would look at our recent 483’s they will see our quality is an illusion.

      Great Company, Terrible Managers

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is good and you get RTO (Routine Time Off) but that is just a way for the company to not pay out PTO. So if you do not use RTO, and you get fired, you get no severance package or nor do you get your "PTO" paid out

      Cons

      Managers lie to the higher ups in order to get certain people fired. You have to make sure you kiss up to your manager, in order to stay long, you better hope to be liked by the higher ups because your work ethic can only do some much. I was a CRA II for 4 years and they never promoted me be to a Sr. CRA within those 4 years, but last week they offered me the Sr. CRA position with only a 3% increase in my salary.
