Worst work experience ever

Pros

Get to travel the world and a management title to move into pharma

Cons

Worst place I have ever worked. Terrible work life balance. Management is terrible and will use you as a pawn to make them look better when it works for them. Run far away and don’t waste your time working here.

Very Poor Management!

Pros

It pays the bills while gaining experience I need to get a better job!

Cons

The entire management. Lack of people skills, lack of proper training and when asking for more training they label you a complainer! Most supervisors and managers got where they are at because they brown nose and help each other move up the ladder while throwing the teams under the bus to cover their butts!

Thank you for your feedback. I am very proud of our diverse management team. Many of our managers have developed their skills during their tenure at Canfield while others have brought skills from leading life sciences and technology companies. Employees that are exceeding expectations and demonstrate the ability to take on additional responsibilities are supported to grow, including growing into management positions. Your review indicates you are simply here for a paycheck, not to be a contributing member of your department, and for that reason alone I would encourage you to leave and wish you well in your future career pursuits.

Pros

Good salary and good benefits. Good experience on the workings of clinical trial and photography. This department (Clinical Trials) is split into teams of about 3 or 4. Every week the department meets to tell each other what they are working on and problems they run into on clinical trials.

Cons

Poor management, high turnover, manager does not directly train their team members and then complains when work is not do to their standards; you are always pushed off the someone else.

Thank you for your candid remarks, we appreciate your honesty. We have taken notice that your concerns about training are shared by a number of other current and former employees, and we take feedback very seriously. We agree that management should be setting very clear expectations for employees and providing the necessary training to prepare them. We are currently exploring tools we can provide our current managers to improve how they train and manage their staff.
