Pros
Great benefits… health, 401K, sick/PTO
Cons
During my 6 years as a CRA I had 12 line managers. Each had their own way of managing. Some were awesome and some were horrible. I also had several months in a row with 13-15 days on site each month. They would have CRA shortages off and on causing high workloads for the ones that were left. Additionally, they would “re-structure” clinical operations about every two to three years. The changes were usually annoying to deal with, but as soon as you were used to the new ways they would change again. So if you didn’t like the new way, you didn’t have to live with it for too long. I enjoyed the study team members and the site teams I visited. Overall, I was very disappointed with the clinical operations management.
