Pros

There were no obvious pros except that the compensation was met at the beginning. This pro is short-lived.

Cons

There are no career opportunities once you start, and many things promised were never followed through with. The culture and values set forth in this new company is very confusing. There was no employee handbook provided despite it being in the sign-on letter. The owner of the company is new to managing and leadership. She also has very little experience with being a CRC or working on research studies despite what she may say. She has a staff of 5 or less. The company is only a couple years old. She fired 3 people within 6 months. Along with her toxic personality, she is not able to make decisions and stick with them, or see logical approaches to solving issues. She also promises bonuses when you sign on, but don't ever expect to see anything. There are no benefits, no insurance, no 401K, etc. After 90 days, she will pay you a small amount for insurance that you choose, but its limited. Watch your paycheck as there were instances where people were not paid correctly. She has no regard for respecting the work/life balance. She also enjoys pinning people against each other and watching them compete. She seemed to thrive off drama despite what she may say to the contrary.

This review was posted by an ex-employee who was let go for breach of contract and for bullying another employee. In reference to specific comments: 1. There is definitely career advancement, and three employees so far have received raises within the past 5 months. The employee who posted this worked for our company for less than 3 months and did not prove herself within that time to receive any kind of advancement. 2. The employee handbook was provided to ex-employee. 3. It is a true statement that the owner is new to managing employees. 4. The owner has 20 years of experience in the industry, and has worked as a CRC for a majority of those years. 5. True statement that there are 5 or less employees, and the company is a little less than 3 years old. 6. It is a true statement that 3 people were let go in a short period of time, and this was a result of those people misrepresenting their capabilities, including the ex-employee who wrote this review. Having worked for an IRB for the amount of time she indicated, I would expect that she know how to properly complete a 1572. 7. Regarding bonuses: $20,000 in bonuses were given last year. 8. We are a new and growing company. We currently offer support with health insurance, and as we grow so will the benefit package. This is made clear during the interview process. 9. It is correct that there was an issue with pay checks, as the company we were using calculated checks on a bi-weekly instead of bi-monthly basis. The issue was rectified and a check was issued to her the day she reported the issue. We no longer use that company for payroll. Her other comments are her opinion and therefore can not be disputed. In defense of our company, I can only disagree with her opinion and point out that since being terminated from Relaro, the environment is relaxed, fun, energetic and thriving. I do not believe this is a coincidence.

Pros

The team at Relaro Medical Trials is supportive and hard working. The office manager goes above and beyond for training new staff and making sure they feel comfortable in their roles. The coordinators and study team are always willing to help out and allow you to thrive in your role. It was a refreshing experience to work along staff that are passionate about the same values and goals.

Cons

The downside for me personally was the commute from the suburbs to the office location in Dallas. If living in the North Dallas/Richardson area it's not bad but commuting from the suburbs took me about 45 minutes.

Pros

Team work, support both in your job and personally, constructive criticism and constant praise, steady work flow, knowledgeable management, work/life balance... etc. I felt personally cared for, as well as a lift of confidence in my position. I felt that they cared for my expertise and only wanted to help that growth within me. They were a driven team often driving their employees to reach further, and I often felt respected throughout by all, no matter their position. The doctors are very knowledgeable as well, and easy to work with and go to. The team of coordinators is strong and brings their own personality and knowledge to the team, and it was a fun uplifting environment on the daily. The entire team was always on point and knowing their role as well as what was going on with the studies because of how often the meetings were, and it just felt the glue was holding tight. Changes seemed to come easy to them even if they weren't or known to be difficult... and I was there during their way of handling the pandemic situation as well. Management was quick to set plans in place and was incredibly professional (as they always are) in the way they handled those type of hard changes and decisions. This is a never give up environment, and they stand by their core values.

Cons

Having to leave this team is my biggest con. It was very hard to part ways.
