Pros

The only pros are gaining experience and some colleagues.

Cons

You WILL be overworked and underpaid. You WILL be lied to by upper management. You WILL be blamed for everything even when it's out of your control. You WILL NOT be trained properly or supported by upper management.

Pros

Pay- the company offers competitive pay however, if you accept the sign-on bonus you are in contract to stay at PPD up to two years.

Cons

BEWARE: Recommended to NOT accept the sign-on bonus. If so, you will be contractually obligated to stay for up to two years. If the contract is broken you will have to pay back the amount to varying degrees. No matter how enticing it seems, I would advise against choosing to work for PPD. The company seems to be in bad shape. A lot of CRA’s keep leaving (poor work culture and poor management). It’s a ‘do as we say or else’ mentality. - disregard for employees: this company has one main concern and that is money. They do not care or show respect for employees. - inadequate training: the company bends their own rules when it’s convenient for them and in order to meet demands of clients they forgo proper training, risking quality and integrity. - poor benefits: few health care plan options and high deductibles with limited services. -poor communication: all around. Again a ‘do as we say…’ they don’t appreciate it listen to employees asking questions or bringing concerns to them. - high risk for burnout: given the company’s main concern is financial they seem to view the CRA’s as objects and not humans.
