Pros

The salary is competitive

Cons

Systems utilized are manual & rather antiquated, IT takes 2 months to respond, completing ERs can take 4 weeks or more to process approvals, you are overloaded in protocols, sites, emails & demands, all depts are understaffed. No work/life balance. Company culture will lead to illness. Staff plays dumb to the fact that retention & morale is low and there is a silent mass exodus.

Back stabbing HR, Directors/Horrible Line Manager/Demanding and Unreasonable Sponsor

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Salary and Health Insurance

Cons

HR is the worst I've ever dealt with. They are liars and manipulators. They are wolves in sheeps clothing. Line managers are micro managers, they don't listen when you are burnt out, they force sites on you with limited time to learn the study/protocol. Sponsors are overbearing and expect you to respond at their beck and call! Lack of promotion and bonuses.
