Pros

Good benefits, flex hours and work from home opportunities. Interesting work.

Cons

Constant threat of layoffs after two major layoffs make this not a stable company to work at. The increases in 2017 were 0 - 1.5%. I would advise against taking a position with this company unless you are seeking experience. Great place to learn and leave.

Great exposure, bad management

Pros

Exposure to lots of different facets of clinical research, networking opportunities, great for science lovers

Cons

Horrible management, no guaranteed schedule, over worked bottom employees, underpaid clinic staff, expensive insurance, horrible communication between people, catty staff, bad training, the only reason people move up in the company is because someone gets sick of the environment and leaves, then the clinic is left with (once again) someone who isn't ready for the position and is just needed to fill the gap.
