Vantaggi
PFV has good compensation and benefits and tries to provide perks (e.g., weekly lunches) to keep employees happy. Most departments have room for growth. Employees are talented, and the company is healthy financially. Locked-down processes allow for efficient workflow.
Svantaggi
Like other agencies, work/life balance can be almost non-existent at times (although senior management tries to recognize hard work). At least everyone works hard, so you're all in it together. Unfortunately for me, the current leadership in med/copy in NJ does not respect people without medical degrees, leaving the copy people (who have been contributing members of the company for years) without room for growth after a certain point or appreciation for work done well. Until this gets fixed, copy/medical writers shouldn't bother trying to obtain positions in NJ unless they are very junior, don't care about career growth, or aren't planning to stay for more than a couple of years.
