Pros

Enjoyable and Interesting clinical trial monitoring work with challenging problems requiring troubleshooting and high level organizational skills. Regional home office based position with travel ~ 80% time.

Cons

Management has no clue who you are as a CRA, the turn-over rate is atrocious due to the burn out stress and the clinical team never discusses these issues, no work/life balance as travel, travel, travel is the mantra here.

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits such as 401K match, annual bonus, health plan, onsite gym and urgent care (free) at Morrisvlle location. Flexible work schedule and managers open to schedule changes even last minute. Good company, stable positions, seems to be maintaining/moving in a positive direction.

Cons

Seems to be lowest paying of the CROs, high turnover, promotions given to those who are friends with management.
