Pros

I have an excellent line manager and have been here four years so far. I'm sure the issues I might mention are the same everywhere. No one has a 40 hr work week in this job line.

Cons

There is a shift from when I started...big push on metrics. 8 to 10 days on site expected every month, with push for 10. Ability to promote is harder and slower. Every two years IF you are great. And that's no guarantee....which causes staff to job hop to other companies.

Pros

Good work atmosphere. People are very friendly. Great location for work. Very flexible work hours. Need to be there from 9-3 but can adjust either way for the 8 hours.

Cons

Some upper management doesn't deserve their title and doesn't work hard. Frequently I've had to do upper managements job without recognition. They promote people who don't necessarily deserve it. However, other groups have great bosses. It all depends the group you get into.

Pros

This position provides an opportunity to learn more about CRO world and various departments in the organization and how they work together.

Cons

This position can be stressful and the work load is often high. Management of external vendors and internal team members adds another level of complexity.
