Pros

I sincerely tried to think of pros, but I couldn't come up with a single one.

Cons

I saw a review from a current employee that stated, “Competent employees are not micromanaged”. After reading that I couldn’t help but give my 2 cents. I feel that I am a highly competent CRA, yet I too felt micromanaged in my day-to-day work. It seemed as if I was a workhorse, i.e. just another CRA helping their bottom line. I did not feel valued for my contributions or work ethic. I was there for a little less than a year and in that time 5 people left. When you have a total of approx. 15 CRAs- that’s pretty bad. What’s crazy is that people don’t leave in order to pursue a promotion or new opportunity – many end up taking the exact same position at a different company. I think that speaks volumes about how badly employees want to leave IMARC. I could ramble on and on about the cons of working here, but I won’t. Since leaving I’ve realized that they have a reputation around Cleveland- and it’s not a very good one. However, I will say it is one that they rightfully earned. Leaving has shown me that my hard work will be noticed, appreciated, and fairly compensated.

Pros

You got to travel and bank up some travel perks. You were challenged...... Company was recently aquired, possibly will turn the atmosphere around? Can't get any worse

Cons

I didn't listen to the reviews when they said the company was the most clicky they have ever experienced...... I should have. There is no way to get ahead there if you are not in the "in crowd." COVID almost shut them down and it was a very scary and horrible time with all the turnovers.
