Relaro Medical Trials Response
9yThis review was posted by an ex-employee who was let go for breach of contract and for bullying another employee. In reference to specific comments:
1. There is definitely career advancement, and three employees so far have received raises within the past 5 months. The employee who posted this worked for our company for less than 3 months and did not prove herself within that time to receive any kind of advancement.
2. The employee handbook was provided to ex-employee.
3. It is a true statement that the owner is new to managing employees.
4. The owner has 20 years of experience in the industry, and has worked as a CRC for a majority of those years.
5. True statement that there are 5 or less employees, and the company is a little less than 3 years old.
6. It is a true statement that 3 people were let go in a short period of time, and this was a result of those people misrepresenting their capabilities, including the ex-employee who wrote this review. Having worked for an IRB for the amount of time she indicated, I would expect that she know how to properly complete a 1572.
7. Regarding bonuses: $20,000 in bonuses were given last year.
8. We are a new and growing company. We currently offer support with health insurance, and as we grow so will the benefit package. This is made clear during the interview process.
9. It is correct that there was an issue with pay checks, as the company we were using calculated checks on a bi-weekly instead of bi-monthly basis. The issue was rectified and a check was issued to her the day she reported the issue. We no longer use that company for payroll.
Her other comments are her opinion and therefore can not be disputed. In defense of our company, I can only disagree with her opinion and point out that since being terminated from Relaro, the environment is relaxed, fun, energetic and thriving. I do not believe this is a coincidence.
