Pros

Cons

scheduling doesnt produce final schedules two weeks in advance; business is not steady - some weeks you can work 50hr and other weeks not even 20h

Pros

The work that is being done is really important for new medications. There are a lot of people here that really want to enjoy the company as well as their people they work with. School reimbursement is really nice too. Outside of the really bad management, its a great company. Its a shame because I would have stayed longer. Its a stable company financially and has a great reputation with pharmaceutical companies. I trust the clinical side that works with study participants.

Cons

Most Directors, Executive Directors, VP's all the way to the CEO are really smart educated people but bad leaders. Most of these people have only worked here their whole career. They think they know everything about every department just because they know it all. They spend millions on a whim because someone knows someone else who knows what we should be doing. Then when that doesn't work, do the same thing again with another person or company. You're either an insider or an outsider. Staff salaries are shameful. Health benefits are embarrassing. Morale is awful. People are either complacent and brag about not having enough work. People who are working hard are also looking for new jobs outside. There is no communication about Executives that just walk out after 10+ years, or a Great Job team email, or holiday thank you email. The President never acknowledges staff, avoids going into the offices to even speak to employees. HR teams bad mouth employees in public. Management talks bad about each other. Lack of strong leadership all around.

Pros

Interesting field of work. International company. When my location was closed it was offered for staff to relocate to keep their jobs.

Cons

Morale was at an all time low. Mass lay off on top of impending closing despite having a profitable and successful year left employees confused and unmotivated.
