Pros

The healthcare benefits are fantastic, and the PTO is decent. The starting rate for a CTN is pretty great in this economy.

Cons

There is RAMPANT favoritism and almost nepotism running through the company. It started off a small company, and expanded so quickly they were scrambling for coverage so much they ended up hiring close friends. They will play favorites with these hired friends and will run everyone else into the ground. There will be a clear line between the “popular” hires and the others. The popular hires/friends will hide out in management’s office all day gossiping, while the rest see pts, process blood, run interference with the PIs, and the CRAs. Don’t look to be promoted if you’re not part of the popular crowd. They had a seminar that everyone was expected to attend talking about mental health and how we were supposed to handle the stress of work. Everything that was suggested is not feasible, but they get a pat on the back for saying “Mental Health Matters” and pretending they care.

Pros

I can’t say enough about this company. It feels incredibly special to be a part of an organization with such an impactful and innovative mission. My coworkers are incredible, there are tons of opportunities for career growth and mobility, benefits/pay is far above average in the industry, and our leaders are inspirational.

Cons

With any new org or even a company breaking norms, there are bound to be growing pains. Many of the poor reviews here are from jaded former employees that were unfortunately laid off years ago… what is failed to be mentioned is that our industry as a whole suffered significantly that year and lay offs took place across most of the industry overall. Not Javara’s fault…. Other networks had to close their doors completely and often laid off exponentially more people

Pros

-Meaningful mission with best corporate leadership team I have seen in my 10 years in research -Fast-paced challenging environment where you are empowered to grow and push yourself; lots of opportunity to bring your new ideas to the table -Competitive pay and although I have had 5 managers in my 4 years, each one has been exceptional -CEO has an incredible track record and very well respected in the industry, getting to work below her is a privilege -It is a complex business model that is very exciting to be a part of

Cons

-There has historically been a divide between site operations and corporate teams, although communication has improved over time. Some site-based staff feel their perspectives are not always fully heard; however, many corporate team members have direct site operations experience and understand the realities of the work. The organization maintains opportunities for employees to raise concerns and provide input, but engagement with those channels can be inconsistent. There is a strong focus on accountability and high standards, which may not align with every employee’s expectations. -While many people are collaborative and mission-driven, there are times when a small number of disengaged employees create an unproductive tone, and clearer expectations around professionalism, accountability, and respectful communication would be beneficial -Some employees appear checked out and may be quick to blame ‘corporate’ rather than use available channels to raise concerns constructively
