Pros

Thorough training, provided opportunity for new CRAs to enter the field, travel bonus was very rewarding if you were traveling a lot.

Cons

While training is thorough, you are thrown into independent monitoring very quickly. Lots of in the job learning. Starting salary is not great, but after about a year-18 months it does go up quite a bit. Work load is crazy-typically 2-4 onsite days each week. I was gone most days of the week (could be a pro depending on if you like the travel).

Thank you for the feedback. We take great pride in our training program for our CRA team members through our PACE (Professionals Achieving CRA Excellence) program. This is highly valued in our organization and we've received wonderful feedback from sponsors. With our CRAs in particular we reward them not just with base compensation but with an opportunity to earn significant additional compensation tied directly to their travel and performance as well as the opportunity to earn Medpace equity awards very early in their career.
