      What used to be an excellent CRO rapidly becoming an average CRO.

      Pros

      Job stability, good pay, good benefits.

      Cons

      CRO work is universally unsatifsying for anyone who wants to be more than just a cog in a large wheel. Far too many layers of communication for efficient decision making, overly concerned with production over quality. Poor work/life balance due to unrealistic sponsor contracts and expectations and cumbersome systems.

      No employee moral

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Due to the high turn over rate, you'll most likely get hired if you have ANY previous lab experience.

      Cons

      Basically, this company is extremely profit driven. They take on far too many contracts for the amount of resources and personnel they have. This creates and atmosphere with low employee moral and a very stressful working environment. Any employee 'senior group leader' or below pretty much spends their whole time running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.

      Pros

      You'll get to see the entire U.S. as a CRA

      Cons

      You'll get to see the entire U.S. as a CRA. Travel was incredibly demanding for a salaried CRA position. Management support was almost non-existent. Many of the procedures were redundant and overly complicated - inviting error.
