Pros

- 5/7 DOS requirement is fairly low and easily achievable - LM was very supportive and helpful - Study teams all had a good, collaborative culture in my experience

Cons

- Merit bonus is based on site issue closure and TMF documents, which are often not in the control of the CRA, so not actually achievable even when other metrics are being met - Upper management has been cutting back on long-time benefits (education, office supplies reimbursements, employee recognition system, etc.) - CRAs are usually split between 3-5 protocols, resulting in a ballooning number of sites and adding to CRA burnout
