Stable but slow growth

Business Outlook

Pros

This is a company that actually gets work done and doesn't spend all its resources buying up other companies and cheaping out on its employees. Promotions come along every once in a while. Solid benefits for full-time employees.

Cons

While one does progress in this company, it's a rather slow growth. In a large company like Syneos, moving up the career ladder takes a long time. Salaries aren't keeping up with responsibilities and COL.

This is a terrible company. Only join if it’s temporary and you’re committed to interviewing other opportunities.

Pros

Only if you’re a national sales director or higher bc you’re guaranteed employment.

Cons

You are a rental car. That’s what you are as a district manager or rep. Health insurance is extremely expensive which just makes their lowball salary even worse. They exploit you after they lay off your whole division and then contact you for a similar division with less pay bc they are terrible people…or as they say “the client makes these salary ranges.” Such a lie. Every car allowance that is decided by the client will be discounted by Syneos in their offer letter. Ex- If Syneos offers a job and says it’s 480 a month, that means the client gives 550-580 to Syneos for the car allowance despite you getting 480.
