Pros
Ok benefits, regional travel which is changing some.
Cons
Thinking you are the best and being the best are two different things. I have seen a decline in how CRAs are treated over the last 5 years, thus my reason for leaving soon. Multitude of protocols with poor training and support from project management and Line Managers was poor. There is more concern with numbers and the bottom line and be able to send an email to say we met this deadline we are so awesome. No you are not awesome, your CRAs are. The problem with thinking you are the biggest and the best will lead to your failure to recruit and retain experienced and talented workers. When you think you are the best you fail to see your own shorting comings and issues. Additionally promoting inexperienced CRAs to management positions because they are your friend, you like them or they may be a family member may be acceptable but it look bad. Your happiness depends on your Line Manager and if your are liked, not if you do your job; because the more you do more is expected. If you voice your concerns you are not a team player
