Good products but poor management

Pros

Good products and hardworking fellow employees

Cons

It's an old boys' club - management is not professional and does not care about staff. There is no training - even the managers are not trained to handle the teams.

We are sorry to hear you feel this way. Most of our Managers do have tenure with the company; many coming from managerial positions in the telecom and medtech industries. We continue to offer training and coaching to our Management Team. Additionally, over 70% of our Clinical Services Management Team are women.

Great Place To Work

Pros

It is a privilege to be able to wake up excited to go to work every day. At Canfield you will be surrounded by very intelligent, hard-working people who truly act together as a team and support each other like a family. You will be given the flexibility to work creatively in your role, and encouraged to think outside the box to get the job done. I am fortunate to have a manager who is very approachable and constantly motivates our team to succeed. On top of that, Canfield is a global leader in our space and very highly respected in multiple industries.

Cons

I have had nothing but positive experiences working at Canfield. It is truly a great company with a lot of opportunity.

Pros

My department was great to work in although we generally felt as we were looked at as the morons of the company, good benefits for a small company, good employee appreciation perks

Cons

lack of communication (too many meetings that accomplish nothing), managers don't manage, client rules all (which is bad when you're talking about rushing projects that shouldn't be rushed), catty environment, if you want to advance you need to be your own advocate--no plan in place.

Client schedules and deadlines are pressures we face every day. Ultimately, we serve the client needs, and we need to balance the deadlines with delivering quality work. Our company is continually growing and we are constantly bringing innovative projects and products to our customers, who are at the core of our business. This requires a lot of hustle but also opens up a lot of opportunity for growth. We expect every employee to take an active role in their career development and to communicate their preferences for professional growth and training to their managers.
