Craig Plato is not only an obsessive micromanager, but he is also a psychotic narcissist. He regularly has meetings with employees until midnight and discourages having a personal life. He sleeps in the building as a way of lording over his employees, the idea that no one works harder than he does. If you are a woman, expect to be made to feel inferior on a regular basis. Your opinion will not matter or be deemed credible in any way shape or form. He has also been quoted as believing a person lacks intelligence if they are from a country outside the United States. There is no human resources department, so there is no way to deal with any conflict you may come into contact with. They do not sterilize their oral gavage needles and regulary use leftover drug to formulate compounds but charge their clients for more. They also reuse food for their animals instead of disposing it. The biggest issue with this company is that the animals suffer regularly. They are not euthanized if they have lost 20% of their body weight. There are animals that are lying recumbent in their cages that have sat all day to be euthanized and have died because Craig Plato will not allow his PIs to make the decision to put them down. He would rather the animal suffer and die on it's own than euthanize it before they are scheduled to be taken down. Even if the data will be discarded and is unusable. You will make more money than you should at this company, you are paid more because the CEO will treat you like you are garbage. He is a power crazed individual with a Napoleon complex. He thinks he is the most intelligent person on the planet, when in actuality he is just a good conman. There are children in highschool who possess more intelligence than this man, and his surgical skills are subpar at best. Please, someone look harder at this CRO, it needs to be shut down.
