Pros

Some nice, hard working people

Cons

All of the negative reviews on this page are absolutely true. Here are some more cons: - Things were said during the interview that are untrue (room for growth, office culture, etc.) Confirmed by at least 2 other CTAs. - It's apparent that CTAs will never become real CRAs here, which causes a lack of motivation. Only one CTA has become a real CRA in the past 20 years. - Management tries to retain CTAs by promoting them to Sr. CTA at 1 year, but the work is the same and there is nothing new to learn. - Poor resourcing causes high turnover for CTAs and CRAs. Management doesn't know what to look for when hiring CTAs. People with experience are not going to join ProTrials due to low pay. - Absolutely no office culture. Management doesn't seem to understand that office culture is one of the most important factors in retention. - Since ProTrials is a private company, there are few opportunities for employees due to lack of money/funding - Management will do everything they can to make CTAs bill their hours to the sponsor instead of ProTrials. - Conversations are timed if they are not work related. Management tracks time in and time out with the badges they provide to employees. It's obvious that manager(s) make rounds to see if employees are at their desks. This creates a toxic work environment and causes people to become unhappy.

We are disappointed to hear about your experience while working at our organization. ProTrials values its employees and opportunities for career growth and development. We have current and ongoing initiatives that our Management team has developed in conjunction with CTA support such as; CTA training modules, quality CRA I training, together with strong field training. While we are proud of the many promotions over the last 21 years, including CRA promotions, as part of continuous improvement we are always looking for ways to improve and provide an inspiring place to work. Thank you for your feedback.

Pros

Work life balance is great, and workload is appropriate. Flex PTO has a been an easy transition although they won’t pay banked hours until you leave company.

Cons

Insurance is expensive and changes EVERY YEAR. For 2025, the company was kind enough to wipe out all orthodontic services and many medications. Now we’re not only paying higher cost but also higher costs out of pocket for lost coverage. This action was not for the employees. In addition to the cost of insurance, raises and promotions are mostly nonexistent especially with a top heavy company.
