Pros
Decent salary for so little work; great job if you're sliding into retirement or just a slacker by nature. Great if you have little ambition or if you don't mind having to cover for other people's inadequacies.
Cons
No leadership, poor departmental management; no hope for professional growth. Management of the Medical Affairs/Medical Writing departments would not try to identify individual employee strengths, experience, and expertise or enhance them to appropriately position them to significantly contribute to the growth of the company. Petty and personal feelings can and will interfere with an employee's livelihood. Poor recognition by upper management of serious issues in the above-mentioned departments that can undermine the company's success in certain key regulatory areas.
