"Decent clinical Staff depending on the day, Cafeteria style meals dictated by study drug requirements and the catering, for those under fed conditions be prepared for a re-heated Mc donalds bacon egg and cheese biscuit microwaved hash browns and a glass of whole milk controlled sleep schedule to control metabolic rates prior and after dosing. But be prepared to sit for the first 4-8 hrs the day of dosing!! Make sure to bring entertainment and bedding as well as comfortable clothing Temperature can vary greatly in the building freezing one day to a sweat lodge the next. Pay is comparable to the other Research Organizations in town $350.00-$5000.00 depending on the study and length of stays. if you are polite and can follow rules and instructions its a fast and easy way to make quick cash. that being said there is other options Novum serves Better meals but usually only has studies paying 350-750 with the rare 1,000-4,000. Axis serves slightly better catering but has nicer facilities and actual water pressure in the showers. and has studies that pay similar. Covance and Spaulding in Wisconsin has similar studies as well as ones paying 5,000 and higher..."

"Great staff! Especially full time staff that is there all the time, they get to know you by your name and make an effort to make you as comfortable as possible in an uncomfortable/unnatural situation. Do the meals suck? No. Taco in a bag, chicken noodle soup, McDonald's breakfast, burgers, and the night you check in you get a turkey sandwich with a nuts/cheese mix and pop for "snack". After dosing, you have to sit in the "cafeteria" for 4 hours with very minimal standing. Be sure to bring plenty to keep you busy. Blood draws vary. I have been in one where they draw you all through the night, and some that it's just through the evening and then you chill out or sleep til day when you check out. These studies are not meant to be easy nor gmalorous. You sit in your pajamas and watch Netflix for 12 hours if you want. Don't expect a jaw dropping wonderful experience. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it's cake. The money and time (considering you sit around all day) is worth it! I will probably always do these studies, easy cash and contributing to science. Just remember to be respectful to the staff! They do their best! Don't make it hard on them or harder for yourself. Definitely recommend giving it a go."

"Rude staff. Horrible meals. Never do a study here. Novum is the best by far!!! Approachable, friendly staff with subway/pizza hut for meals. Oh and they don't treat you like a child and make u turn off devices at 10pm. Novum pays more too! One night derm study, no blood draws for $350. 4 period study with drugs and blood draws at algorithme pays 300 per weekend which is a 2 night stay. More money, less invasive as novum!!"

"They give you the bare minimum to show up. 90% of their studies not only have a bunch of return visits, but the days are terrible. Why would I show up Wednesday to Sunday twice with 10 return visits? Their pay scale is atrocious and people need to stop going completely so they address this. Also prepare to be starving all the time."
