Vantaggi
Because it's a "family owned company" I was given the opportunity to do tasks and learn skills beyond my education level. Many of my co-workers were of a similar age.
Svantaggi
They talk a good game about their values. For years the Helms' prides themselves as being the company that didn't lay people off. This was after my time there, but they DID lay a bunch of people off, during a pandemic with 8 days of health insurance. Long-time employees who had believed the reason we are paid less at Rho compared to comparable positions at other CROs was because of loyalty. If someone in their inner circle doesn't like you, often because of petty, mean-girl high school drama, they allow those people to treat you like crap. I honestly did not know how toxic of a work environment it was until I left for another company. It took years for me to recover from my time as a Rho employee.
