Pros
You can work from home (like most corporations during the pandemic).
Cons
If you value yourself at all, DO NOT apply for a job in this company! Within my first 6 months of working here, over half the employees quit. This is not an exaggeration. On a team of 13 people, 7 people quit. If you pay attention from the beginning of the onboarding process, you might notice some red flags. Please pay attention. When I interviewed for my position, the HR representative scheduled me on the wrong day. After making the mistake, instead of considering my time, they gave me about 12 hours notice for another interview slot that week. This disorganization not only affected my onboarding process, but within my first month of working there, I WAS NOT PAID. They did not properly add me to their system so I had to go without pay for several weeks. The office itself is the most dull, fluorescent-lit, cubicle-filled, Office Space-y office you can imagine. Nobody was willing to be in the office after the pandemic, so training was very difficult. In fact, you are basically not trained AT ALL for any of the trouble-shooting that is required for pump maintenance/ on-call trouble-shooting for clinical trials visits. They will, however, expect you to be available to troubleshoot a pump that you will never even see in real life. On the topic of trouble-shooting visits….YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO WORK ON WEEKENDS. This is NOT conveyed at all during the onboarding process. However, Coram has changed their hours to be open 24/7, 365 days a year. These hours are split between a team of thirteen. Which ultimately means that you will work nights, weekends, and holidays, in addition to a 50 hour work week. The payment system for on-call days is not communicated to employees, so after working on-call for several weekends, I was not paid (again) because I had not been told to enter my hours in a specific way for these on-call days. This also affected the paycheck of every other employee, as they did not tell anyone how to properly enter their hours. On the topic of work life and culture, to sum it up, there is no diversity, no work-life balance, and no room for career growth. No effort is made for team-building activities or anything of that nature. Also, due to the high turnover, you are expected to take on the work of several people. Before I started working there, just one project had required two consultants. I am now a single consultant working on seven projects. 99% of this work is just making sure boxes have been checked on a document. You essentially review the same document up to 60 times a day to make sure it has been completely filled out. I wish I had been aware of this before starting so I feel the moral responsibility to share this information for the next unsuspecting victim of this soul-crushing, hellscape of a corporate healthcare company.
