Research Mill, Unprofessional Management, and Overworked. - Anonymous employee Pinnacle Clinical Research Employee Review

-You are pushed to constantly enroll and screened to focus on quantity and quality of your work ethic will diminish. This includes coordinators, research assistants, lab staff, and investigators. -As an employee you should be comfortable to approach and address your concerns but when you do it’s directed in a negative manner. The management team nor HR will take it as advice and listen to their employees. -Some employees are terrified to address their concerns because the fear of losing their job. And the ones that do are deemed unable to handle their position. -Turnover rate is very high including employees who have walked out on the job. They have lost so many well versed and EXPERIENCED study staff members that have been in this industry for 10 plus years. -You can be employed with them for YEARS and not get a raise or an evaluation. How are you to know what your strengths and weaknesses are to improve? -Your schedule will be full of patients but it’s not enough time in a work day to complete the project management of your overloaded trials. You get written up for falling behind. -If you resign your employment with them and choose not to take their counteroffer, management will not speak to you the remaining two weeks. They will not speak to you or even wish you the best. You will not be given a going away party. -There is no quality of life at the office or home life because you are always constantly worried about your job. -If an employee provides a two week notice and a work reference is required, management will not provide a professional about work reference. This can cause someone not getting hired no matter how hard they worked for Pinnacle. -Management is very young and poor. They need to hire a third party advisor to revamp and make changes. There is so much potential for this company. The success and failure of an organization and its employees come from the top.
