      Clinical research coordinator

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Coworkers are amazing, management is supportive (to an extent, mostly when it comes to workload), and for the most part, the company is well-organized

      Cons

      Little to no training due to the specificity of the work, basically on-call without on call pay, high complexity and high volume workload, inadequate compensation, perpetually understaffed, company keeps cutting benefits

      CRO clinical research

      Research associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      fairly straightforward interview, ok upward mobility if you're trying to be in clinical research

      Cons

      micromanaging, cycling through new managers, not much increase in salary in new positions. high stress at times due to being understaffed and high turnover. they wont hire enough people so they blow up your phone last minute to call you in for overtime, but at the same time they don't like to give it when you really need it. getting time off approved when you want it was also difficult and they gave you a hard time for it, sometimes it was whoever the manager liked who got approved.
