Pros

The benefits package is pretty decent, and you get a lot of vacation time (4 weeks to start). Also, because they have a lot of turn-over, your job is pretty secure because they don't want to lose you.

Cons

Your four weeks of vacation time includes any sick time. Also, they only have 6 holidays. Your bonus is based on how the business unit performs as a whole, and has no reflection of how hard you work. If your business unit underperforms, you could end up with no bonus. Management tends to point fingers down on their employees when things aren't performing smoothly, passing the blame onto their staff instead of taking responsibility for their bad management. The company also underpays their employees, especially in the Boston area where the medical markeet is extremely competative.

Pros

Pay is higher than most in the area. Hours are good. Benefits are good.

Cons

It’s very difficult to get time off for anything, regardless of how much vacation time you have. Only 15% of those hours will carry over and you lose what you’ve worked for and weren’t able to use. Not enough floats to cover the territory so people can actually get time off. Pay raises aren’t very good.
