Pros

Good working conditions, team oriented and flexibility with scheduling. No holidays or weekend work.

Cons

Sitting all day with little opportunity to move about. No availability of sit/stand work stations. Provides many "extras" that are not available to those who are restricted to the phones, such as health classes, exercise classes, finance seminars and other activities offered throughout the work day during the year. All of these cost the company money with no benefit to those that are on the phones all day.

Pros

The managers are very aware of the like of a traveling CRA and provide excellent support for the field CRA. The company tries to make sure that the CRA actually has a life beyond work. The have a bonus program for those who want to do more visits than the minimum per quarter. It is a really comfortable place to work.

Cons

I really can't think of any Cons. I often wish that I had never taken the offer from Quintiles.

Pros

Flexibility. You are somewhat free to decide when you come in, no one is obligated to come to work at a specific time each day as long as you work 8 hours.

Cons

No promotions. No interest in retaining good employees. Policies in place don't allow lower level employees to get credit for their work. Salary is not competetive with other companies and benefits aren't great either. Heavy workload, often long hours. Lots of micro-managing, only limited freedom within your job description.
