Pros

Great medical research experience. Great coworkers. Good benefits.

Cons

Management can use improvements. Hours scheduled do not match workload. They base pay off availability so someone doing less than you could be paid more than you. They promote who they like rather than the person best qualified for the jo or who has earned it based on merit.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
