Pros

The benefit package is decent, however no sick leave.

Cons

This company is a disaster. They put you though New Foundations training to learn the “Javara way” and start you off like you know absolutely nothing. You will be questioned for every move you make, be micromanaged for every second of your day, and account for every second by your time sheet and detail the tasks being done. Most locations are a hort staffed, however have unrealistic expectations about enrolling patients into high dollar trials. They will reprimand you for not enrolling. There is a call center however you are demanded to make so many calls a day that takes priority over everything else you’re expected to do. These people only care about quantity over quality and how much money they can get into the top executives pockets. You will not receive proper training even when asked and if you don’t do something they want you to even without training you will be fired. You are expected to work outside your hours and you will not have work/life balance. Do yourself a favor and skip this company. Also have cheap equipment, small spaces, and rude employees.

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

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.
