Incompetence at the Senior Management Level
Do not wish to disclose (Former Employee), undisclosed. – March 25, 2013
This place was fraught with incompetent Senior Management who had no clue how to run a company.

The writing was on the wall when this company took over Cetero Research. There was no plan and ... poof 9 months later they closed their door and filed bankruptcy.

The end results: over 200 Canadian based employees are left without jobs.

When you don't understand how a company works, you get people who make reviews like this. You should count yourself lucky your job didn't go down the crapper 8 years ago.

Very fast paced, ever changing workplace.
Executive Assistant to the CEO (Former Employee), Fargo, ND – April 11, 2013
PRACS Institute was a great place to work. Management was very supportive of staff and encouraged thinking outside of the box. Regulated by the FDA and other agencies it was necessary to follow SOP's and to maintain an ethical and quality based work performance at all times. I took part in a variety of meetings, taking minutes as well as contributing – more... ideas etc. I especially enjoyed interacting with our clients and ensuring that there needs were met in a timely, efficient manner. Another aspect of my positions within the different entities of PRACS was supervision of various staff members ub tge Administrative area as well as Client Services. Unfortunately, the creditors of PRACS Institute were not interested in letting the company develop to its potential and chose to file Chapter 7 before it could gain its potential. – less

Fun and family friendly work place
Support Staff Supervisor (Former Employee), Saint Charles, MO – March 27, 2013
Pros: free lunches, benifets, and vacation
Cons: the company closing down
Working for PRACS Institute was a good experience for me. I got to learn new things and worked with the best employees. When PRACS was busy I didn’t have down time. I loved being so busy. Taking care of the subjects was one of my favorite things to do. Everyone knew me and if anyone had a question I would always hear my name on the overhead. Everyone – more... came to me if they had a problem or a question. My supervisor was one of the best people working for the company. If I had an issue with anything she would help me out anyway that she could. – less

Til The Bitter End
Director, Clinical Operations & Site Manager (Former Employee), Saint Charles, MO – March 25, 2013
Pros: flexibility, quality
Cons: bankruptcy, not financial stable in the end
I loved working for this company. I was there for over fifteen years. I went through 2 company sales, one chapter 11 filing, and then unfortunately in the end, a chapter 7 liquidation. The company was flexible, had great staff, and I was proud of the work we produced

Working out the Kinks
Staff (Current Employee), St. Charles, MO – January 21, 2013
Pros: great healthcare
Cons: lack of communication
A typical day at work is spent trying to cohesively seam departments and trial processes together across 3 different sites. Communication is a huge barrier between all the sites when trying to figure out best practices. Like the game telephone, you will get 3 different answers when talking to 3 different people about how to perform the same process. – more... However, when something needs to be done, you can expect it to be completed immediately. – less

International company with quality people
Sample Handling Tech (Current Employee), Houston, Texas – September 17, 2012
Pros: hours, people
Cons: location, building ( old )
Most days were fast paced, stressful, and very demanding. I loved it! I learned how the relationship between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies work. I enjoy the spending most of my days with my co-workers, they helped make this company successful and memorable. The hardest part of the job was slow times, when we had no studies. I loved learning something – more... new each day, and the different cultures ( customs ) I experienced. – less
