Pros

Gain experience in monitoring clinical trials.

Cons

Extensive travel (4-5 days gone per week in reality, was told 8-10 days per month in interview), unsafe work environments at some sites (unsanitary conditions, high crime areas), when expressed concern to management was told the previous CRA said the same thing.

Pros

Great place to start out with excellent training, vast range of therapeutic areas and an interesting group of co-workers. Assignments can be fast paced and challenging, which I really enjoyed. Meal per diem when traveling was a plus.

Cons

Salary was a bit lower than average. Growth opportunities can be limited.
