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.

Cons

No career growth and poor training Lack of support from the Clinical Research Assistant Line Manager which, has caused a huge turn-over rate several times in the past 3 years No diversity with only women working in the office Too much gossip

Pros

Small company with impressive goals.

Cons

Small company with groups of 'clicks' that cover each others errors - including Project managers who do not take responsibility for their own mistakes. Line managers do not confirm details before surprising the CRA on their yearly evaluation with details which are not valid - and details are not changed even after proof is provided of errors. Company owners will tell you that they want to know when things are amiss in the company. Not true... they tend to defend the 'clicks' although evidence is provided to show that supervisors are not doing their job properly. Several employees have departed recently due to the behavior mentioned here.
