Pros

Offers remote working options, flexible scheduling.

Cons

Resourcing is constantly lacking in several departments which leads to unreasonably high work loads. Only focus on negatives, there is no recognition for work done well.

Pros

Work life balance, lots of resources for help, Apex CRA program for those new to clinical research

Cons

Systems heavy, and like most CROs they overpromise to sponsors which in turn can place unrealistic expectations on CRAs.

Pros

Hire college students and new graduates Looks good on resume if you want to enter healthcare career one day

Cons

Managers don't care about building a company culture or their employees. Employees bad mouth behind each others' back. Turnover is high. Be paid as a PRN position with no benefit but expected to work full time (weekends and night shifts sometimes). Have to work with COVID patients without any given health insurance. Job title is misleading. Research associates take vitals, collect urine, draw blood (roles of a patient tech) and don't really participate in any "research" activities.
