Good opportunities hindered by bad managers

Senior clinical data manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great location in Kendall. Salary is better than average. Work life balance is manageable. Good benefits and vacation time.

Cons

Managers are pretty bad. Lot of office politics. Managers don’t care about growth of their peers and are out for their own agendas. Someone needs to look at these managers and bring a change. Lot of unhappy people and they are going to drive away many people soon.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good and salaries are mostly fair.

Cons

They claim to have a speak up culture, but really do not. It is command and control atmosphere. In management roles, they hire and promote those with little to no experience and they are "yes" people.
