Pros

Im going to be completely honest, this company has no structure. If you are a recent college grad looking to get your foot in the door don't be shocked that this company will hire you, overwork you, and underpay you. Yes, you'll be promised an associate project manager position that allows you to work your way up to a project manager title and senior project management title. You will have ALOT of responsibility, including direct communication with the different teams (recruiters and administrative team) and with the client. You may find yourself interested in some of the studies you are managing, specifically if you like the consumer brand or medical brand. You can work from home occasionally.

Cons

Most of those recruiters/admin/ upper management will be completely rude to you when you are new and not answer the absurd amount of questions you will have due to lack of training. There will be a handful of clients who will find the easiest way to belittle you and throw all of their stress onto you. The turnover rate is absurd. THIS JOB IS STRESSFUL, YOU WILL BE OVERWHELMED.

Pros

I worked there for many years and met some really great people.

Cons

Where to begin? Facility management is completely over worked and under paid. You are expected to do basically everything; scheduling and managing employees, client services, billing for projects, all the financial responsibilities and accounting for the office and since there is no tech onsite you are expected to handle any AV problems that arise. (Which is alot because the equipment is like something out of a bad sci-fi movie, not to mention a fire hazard) Also you are still expected to be a Qualitative Assistant and Supervisor. You are doing about 8 jobs and being paid for one (and the pay is horrible) All senior and not so senior employees have left the company because things have gotten so unbearable at this office. The new mgmt doesn't know their own head from a hole in the wall and wouldn't last 5 minutes dealing with the day to day operations and horrible working conditions. Not to mention we have some of the most demanding and entitled clients who come to this office and treat the staff like dogs. The staff do not get scheduled breaks (which is illegal btw) they are expected to work longs hours and some weeks they don't get any hours at all. The company has been on a "pay freeze" for years, good luck getting a raise or decent pay. Yet they just remodeled a bunch of locations with new furniture and big screen TVs, but you can't give you loyal and hard working employees a raise? It's disgusting. They will work you to death and drain the life from you, if you let them.

Pros

Better than Unemployment - at least when your benefits run out.

Cons

If it was simply a case of nepotism and favoritism as core professional habits, Schlesinger MIGHT be overlooked as just another company that doesn't care about their employees. How they've managed to stay in business for over 40 years with the sort of management practices that include unfair pay scales, encouraging a climate of fear, low morale, racism, overworking staff members, benefits that are (at best) a joke, aggressively berating and insulting your employees, high turnover rates, an outdated infrastructure and an absolute lack of professional accountability boggles the mind. Steer clear at all costs.
