It’s been in decline since we left LabCorp

Senior clinical research associate

Business Outlook

Pros

- They’re very good at pretending to listen to your issues - “Unlimited” time off

Cons

- Workload in some FSPs - Travel stipend hasn’t changed in years for food or hotel leading you to subsidize the company’s travel or stay at a Motel5 and eat McDonalds - Management is hands off - Promotions come late and raises are comical (2%). No bonuses here! Inflation? Employees can eat the increases while we charge crazy rates to our customers. - They’re actively reducing benefits for employees (no CRA stipend, gym reimbursement, health insurance, we have to pay for labs) - IT department is outsourced and only sometimes competent - Don’t forget the layoffs!

Good learning experience, wouldn’t go back

Business Outlook

Pros

I learned a lot and was able to take in a lot of extra tasks. My direct management was amazing and I stayed longer than I should have because of them. Exposure to many different types of studies and teams.

Cons

They advertise room for advancement but instead give more tasks for no extra pay or a title change. A waste of time, but a resume builder. Go there to learn but keep looking for another job. Also, the pay is laughable and no raise or bonus for 3 years.
