Pros

Good health benefits, 401K. Other CRAs are great to work with, also learn more from them than the horrible iLearn training management is so incredibly proud of.

Cons

Where do I start? Executives & management never listen. Only concern is the bottom line and their bonuses!

Pros

Good medical benefits and time off.

Cons

My annual performance review literally said "No areas requiring improvement noted" with positive, raving reviews from CTMs and site staff. No promotion as discussed with line manager, minimal "merit" increase, and minimal performance bonus. Apparently, "performance bonus" is tied to seniority, which takes away any new employees' motivation to perform above and beyond. Very little resources, no support the company or management. Travel policy is awful- $150 hotel cap and $50 meal cap per day, regardless of working location. Talk of per diem has been in the works for 1.5 years I was there. Still no sign of implementation.

Pros

Aside from the salary (if you were smart to negotiate well), there is nothing good about this company.

Cons

Read the review by a Sr CRA from 02Sep2013 - I wish I had. Good individuals but terrible project teams. No collaboration. New hires are leaving before their 1 yr, despite having to repay bonus - a major clue of how things are.
