Managment Driven By Numbers not Employees
Data Collection Specialist (Current Employee) – Raleigh, NC – April 7, 2019
This job is boring and tedious and a time killer. The paycheck is measely. 8 hours a day spent making outbound calls to conduct surveys. The rules were overwhelming. Management was non-existent. There was no motivation by supervisors on the floor. Employees are just a number. You are never in the same seat twice so getting to know your co-workers is near impossible. There is no camaraderie, no culture, no variety. I found it hard to wake up every morning and get motivated to even show up.
Cons
Poor working conditions; short breaks; low pay
Very productive work place.
Research interviewer (Current Employee) – Raleigh, NC – April 3, 2019
Loved working there very professional helping. Easy to talk to management and staff. Interviewing was very easy and quick, they take there time to explain everything.
Place for growth
Field Supervisor (Former Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – April 3, 2019
Offer resources for career growth and professionalism within the organization. Provide extensive paid training. Partner with sponsors to research meaningful studies.
Cons
None
Great Field Management
Field Interviewer (Former Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – March 29, 2019
I liked working for RTI. As with many jobs in this field, there is not job security due to different study times and requirements. My experience was positive.
Pros
Prompt response from management
Cons
No job security
RTI IT Dept Needs better managers
Senior Network Engineer (Current Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – March 27, 2019
The IT managers at RTI are doing a terrible job and have turned a company that was once a great place to work into a terrible place to work. Abandon Ship!
Pros
Some opporunity to work from home and some flexible hours
Cons
Management is the worst, work a LOT of hours, no appreciation
Worst place that I ever worked at!
Information Technology Specialist (Former Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – March 24, 2019
CIO quit, CISO has not a clue on what to do. Managers bully workers and Ethics Officer does nothing to stop it. Many people working there have not a clue on their job responsibility and blame others for their mistakes. Managers do not stick up for their people. Many butt into conversations, have no clue, and report false information. Worked over 250 hours every month for chump change. Nobody cares about work/home environment.
Pros
None
Cons
Way to many to list!
supervising call center workers
Telephone Interviewer (Former Employee) – Raleigh, NC – March 21, 2019
I used to supervise call center interviewers and make sure the quality of their work was up to the standards. I would review love calls and coach during the alls as well as recorded calls.
Flexible company
Senior Supply Chain Specialist (Former Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – March 18, 2019
This is a pretty flexible company to work with, but the management wasn't the most organized. They were constantly trying to improve their processes, which was a good thing
Great place to work
Health Services Analyst (Former Employee) – Washington, DC – March 18, 2019
I truly enjoyed working at RTI. They have an amazing work culture and most of the people who work there are very passionate about what they do. There is also room to grow, as they allow you to work in areas of your own interest.
Field Reviewer
Field Interviewer (Former Employee) – Stillwater, OK – February 26, 2019
Great part time job going door to door getting surveys from households. Most of the time people are not home and returning multiple times to reach the tenants.
Pros
Job not the hard
Cons
Many miles on car and scared of big dogs
Great place to work
Research Statistician (Former Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – February 21, 2019
I really enjoy working here. Great folks. Would recommend this work place to others. I don't have more to write since there are many places I have worked.
Disappointed
Analyst (Former Employee) – Research Triangle Park, NC – February 20, 2019
After working here for several years, I realized that I was not going to advance. Bachelor level staff were hired about every two years then they would leave for grad school. It was a revolving door. Hire a hand full of new college graduates, train them, watch them walk out the door a year or two later. They don't want dedicated staff who have knowledge and skills
Pros
benefits -- insurance, time off
Cons
No value of staff with longevity
A decent place to work, if you can handle periods of no work
institutional contactor (Former Employee) – Raleigh – February 11, 2019
The working environment at RTI is decent enough, the people there are competent for the most part. The only complaints I have are about the lack of consistency. The work ends for any given project with little or no warning and there is no guarantee that the you will have work quickly afterward.
Great work environment
Research Intern (Former Employee) – Durham, NC – February 7, 2019
A lot of really smart scientists, with loads of personality. Everywhere from pick up basketball games to improptu conversations about one's favorite jazz or R&B artist, RTI was a cultured and intellectual place that made me feel at home.
Pros
Occasionally free lunches as an intern
