Pros

Lots of interesting work and opportunities to further your career up to a certain level.

Cons

Too much politicking and poor leadership at the department level. There is opportunity to rise through the ranks, quickly, but ultimately, higher level opportunities are limited and not filled based on talent. Salaries are also low compared to the work asked of employees.

Pros

Good working conditions, team oriented and flexibility with scheduling. No holidays or weekend work.

Cons

Sitting all day with little opportunity to move about. No availability of sit/stand work stations. Provides many "extras" that are not available to those who are restricted to the phones, such as health classes, exercise classes, finance seminars and other activities offered throughout the work day during the year. All of these cost the company money with no benefit to those that are on the phones all day.

Pros

The managers are very aware of the like of a traveling CRA and provide excellent support for the field CRA. The company tries to make sure that the CRA actually has a life beyond work. The have a bonus program for those who want to do more visits than the minimum per quarter. It is a really comfortable place to work.

Cons

I really can't think of any Cons. I often wish that I had never taken the offer from Quintiles.
