Good manager = happy rep

Pros

Above average market salaries If you get a good manager you will be relatively happy

Cons

Strict EV car policy put in place - if you need a family car you can forget it unless you pay upwards of 90k for it. Constantly engage external ‘consultants’ to review work productively resulting in more meetings & KPI’s being enforced. Increased concerned about KPI’s (quantity over quality). If you have leadership aspirations prepare to ‘network’ and ‘brand’ yourself - this is not a meritocracy.

Pros

Ability to do remote visits helps meet days on site requirement

Cons

Gaslighting (withhold training information, then back track and tease CRAs and put them down for not knowing something that no one told them). * Bad company culture - CRAs and managers act like they are in a race to put down each other in front of other people and throw other people under the bus all the time for attention, including grown middle-age women who should know better by now. They assign CRAs 25 sites at a time, and they yell at them if they don’t have 8 visits/16 days on site per month, even though they claim their minimum is 8 days on site per month. Also, your sites will be located all across the country, so if you’re in the northwest, expect to have more than half of your sites in the southeast. No In house CRAs, you’ll be doing the job of about 5 people. They yell at you for not responding to emails while traveling.
