Pros
The clinical trials that are being brought in are fascinating, and the coordinators running them are amazing. The passion behind the coordinators are inexplicably deep and will make a difference in so many patients' lives.Cons
The benefits package will change from what they offer you at the interview to what they send you once employed. I thought it was a mistake when I was employed, but it is not as a coworker had the same experience of being promised different benefits than what we got (worse off). I learned a new word while working at this company; nano-management. The managers care about the length of your sleeves, style of your shoes, if you show up at 8:01, if you take longer than 30 minutes for lunch, if you talk with your coworker too much then they will separate you to different locations, if you have a protocol deviation it will be on your performance evaluation... And the work that you are 'missing out on' is not existent. They care about you being in a chair over what you have to do, which can be nothing. There is no work you are hired to actually do as the managers do not know how to delegate any work. So, you will be assigned tasks such as organizing their emails, files, reviewing things they've already done, auditing their work, and sitting in a chair acting like you are working the entirety of your shift (they call you salary but are treated hourly) until you are allowed to go home. You will be expected to smile a lot, and you will be asked by other staff members to be more positive or smile more. If you can thrive in an environment like described, this is the perfect job for you. I actually heard a manager tell another manager that a coworker of mine was 'pessimistic' (they are not). They have no issue with gossip among themselves as managers, and their attitudes will show that they crave control and not efficiency and teamwork. I cannot say with any other recommended anonymous advice that me and my entire team of coworkers are applying and trying to leave this company. It has been a mental toll on all of us. We are not allowed to talk to each other, email any of the doctors directly, do anything without our managers' approvals, or tell the doctors what is actually happening (when trials are 'open' but are actually held up by this company's contracting or just us actually not having EMR access but being expected to enroll anyone in trials). I would recommend finding a coordinator on a professional networking social media platform that is currently employed, message them, then talk to any of us in the city that you are applying to. I can guarantee that this information will be validated. Good luck, I know the job market is not good with clinical research professionals, but I can promise you with every ounce of my worth that it is NOT a place to settle at and to sacrifice your mental health. I wish you the best of luck with your job search.
