Pros

Growing Company, Many of the managers are great, Remote jobs, Internal Job transfers

Cons

Too many employees coming and then leaving. Constant changes with team members. No large salary increases if you stay with the company, many new hires come in from other companies and are given a higher salary while those who have been loyal to the company have to change departments or positions to see much pay increase. Project Specialists do not get in depth training. Very hard to catch on when trying to learn tasks, stay on top of tasks and are constantly being escalated to line manager about small things instead of taking the time to reach out and help you. I previously worked in SSU and received very good training and would be asked directly about any issues before being escalated to line manager. In the project specialist position I have been escalated to my line manager many times but never addressed directly and these escalations were regarding mistakes I had no idea about and that could have been resolved with proper training. It is hard to stay motivated when you feel like you are doing a good job but find out you are actually being escalated for doing something incorrectly instead of someone reaching out to help and explain the issue and guide you to better understand the tasks.

Pros

Strong coworkers, great systems (report review, visit tracking, etc)

Cons

Incredibly understaffed Losing profit- billing clients wrong, not receiving all $ for work performed 0 bonus, 0.025% merit increase (a joke) I am a CTM doing CRA tasks, covering visits, contacting sites, etc because there's a major shortage OVERWORKED, 0 life/work balance Disorganized, received barely any training during onboarding and that resulted in several QIs for missed tasks on my behalf, when I was never trained to do any of those items
