Pros

Most coworkers are nice and friendly Teams leads are helpful and try their best Flexible with schedule and time off requests If you want to work your way up there are opportunities for advancement if you stay long enough If you stay motivated and show interest in getting signed off on everything you will be favored Slow and chill some days Lots to learn if you have no medical experience and each day is different Good for students Overtime is nice when busy

Cons

Super low wage for what you do across all departments except Study Management department for some reason? High turnover so on busy days if you are signed off on a lot you will have a very stressful day On the busy days you will probably not get a lunch Training doesn't adequately prepare you for how fast paced the floor is Low pay again- biggest problem I think No consequences for call outs and low performers Young coworkers so some are not very professional Annual raise is so low! Most people I asked got 2-3% and don't even give bonuses or anything like that Variable employee hours are very low when slow

Horrible Management

Pros

The work is very interesting.

Cons

Bad management…..HR needs to do an investigation. High turnover rate in one department because of one single person. That person has had a lot HR complaints. Totally disrespectful. Not a great company to work for because of a harsh work environment just because of one bad manager who has been doing this for years.

Thank you for taking time to provide a review of our site here in Richmond. I’m glad to read that you enjoyed the work that we do and found it interesting. I’m sorry to read that your experience with management wasn’t as positive as you had hoped. I’m a firm believer that engaging in thoughtful dialog tends to resolve most issues and wish you would have given me, or our Human Resources department, and opportunity to assist in finding a solution to your concerns while you were here. As you suggested, we took the opportunity to speak with your peers and it seems as if they do not share your opinion of management. This was an excellent opportunity to learn from our staff. We learned that things are not perfect here, but they do not match your characterization. It is a requirement that management meet with each of their direct reports monthly to discuss performance but also to discuss issues that are important to them including professional development opportunities and areas of concern. We try to foster an environment of honest and consistent communications so that at a minimum our employees have a safe space to discuss matters that concern them monthly. We have a fantastic team, and the team was fantastic with you on it. The members of our team value traits such as integrity, accountability, and team work. We have in the past, and will continue to prioritize training all of our staff, management included, on the pillars of healthy organizations such as how to foster positive relationships and reinforcing positive communications. Thank you for taking the time to rate our site and we will use it to continually improve in all aspects of what we do. Best regards, Stephen Carroll Site Administrator – Celerion Richmond

It is unfortunate to read that you felt there were no redeeming aspects of your tenure at Celerion. I was concerned to read your comment about unethical management and this is a comment that I would dispute. Celerion encourages and supports any employee who would come forward with any concern around the alleged unethical behavior of any employee including management. Andrew Stringer - Exec. Dir.
