Pros

Not the pay. Not the work. Some people. Probably 20% of the people would make this list as a Pro. Not a good percentage in my book. Worklife balance, oh wait, that if for people who really don't work and get Fridays as a free day. FOF, is not allowed by all.

Cons

Pay oh and title. Beware of the bait ans switch,they interview you for a lead or something higher, then when you start they give you another title and say titles don't mean anything here. Last year they demoted probably oer 80% of the employees, giving lower titles than the bait and switch title. Then, no one gets raises because they now have a structure and range and sinec we demoted you, you are now paid too much for the role we gave you. Contractors are holding this company hostage but they don't produce, lack integrity and the skillset to perform daily tasks. Oh an the nepitism..... Let's hire a new guy because he's a friend of the xxxxx and that person can't even spell IT..... Sits in meetings and adds NO value what so ever.

Pros

Great for entry level positions. Most employees here apart from management are great people. The office atmosphere is professional, yet lively and fun. You will meet people from all different types of backgrounds and fields of education.

Cons

Lots of passive agressive drama and terrible communication between departments. Some people in upper management are cocky and think they know everything simply because they have been in this industry for a long time, and there is one person in particular who acts like this and everyone in the office knows this individual and the vast majority of people that know this person share this sentiment, so just watch out/ignore them. The company is incredibly cheap. I have been here for over 3 years and your average raise will be somwhere in the 1.5-2% range no matter how well you perform so you might as well just do the bare minimum required as per your job responsibilites. This company does not give yearly bonuses of ANY kind and you will likely have to wait at minimum 4-5+ years of working there before getting any type of meaningful promotion to a higher position. Prepare to be gaslit if you get the wrong manager(s). Your medical coverage will be overpriced. Beware of the company's vesting schedule if you plan on contributing to a retirement account. The only reason I am staying here to complete my 4th year is so that my 401k match stays vested. Yes, that's right - your 401k match is not 100% vested unless you work for over 4 years. Remember, your bosses are not your friends no matter how much they make you feel like they are; they are simply there for metrics and to make themselves look good to their bosses.

Pros

I will start by saying that I enjoyed my time at Syneos. It helped me gain good experience and offered good opportunities to move up. Syneos is a great place to start in pharma sales. They have a good number of roles so plenty of opportunities to get experience. They have decent benefits, including unlimited PTO. Pay is good for contract, but not as good as direct hire. Since most sales jobs are contract, everyone on the sales team is on the same page of succeeding. It helps you meet some direct hire reps as well who can help you move upward and off contract.

Cons

Teams make all the difference. If you have a bad team, it’s not enjoyable. The pay, while decent, isn’t as much as you could be. Bonus (incentive compensation) varies from contract to contract. The new owners aren’t great. Clearly trying to cut costs to resell in the future. Lay offs can happen whenever. Doesn’t matter how good you’ve done, if a contract gets cut, you’re done. Syneos tries to help you find something else, but it’s can take a few months.
