Pros

- Company has good values in terms of everything being sanitary and FDA compliant even though they're not subjected to FDA regulations in their Canadian offices / warehouses - I assume work-life balance is ok if your commute is not as awful as mine was

Cons

- They have no respect for their employees. The turnover is very high, and they get rid of a lot of people within the 3-month "trial" period (they don't need an excuse to fire before the 3 months are done). Everyone on the commute back seems dissatisfied and not very pleased with the company, yet it was a job that they needed. - Company culture was not that of appreciation for the employees work. Ridiculous rules such as punching in / out and seconds coming out of your paycheck were enforced (even when the small tardiness was due to their rule of changing out of snow boots and into shoes before punching in). They also did not allow you to have coats at your desk (??) - Seems like the managers make decisions without any input from their employees of before talking to them about issues that might have arisen. - Compensation was very low.

Pros

I have worked for Medisca for four years and could not be happier. The company is rooted in quality and is the industry leader in innovation! We recently held our Global Commercial Summit in Montreal and I could not have been more impressed. Employees from all over the world joined in a week of networking, training, mentoring and team building that surpassed every expectation I had. Senior management took time to engage, interact and take feedback from all in attendance. Every day they were open to new ideas and everyone’s perspectives. Feeling appreciated is one of the biggest downfalls of most companies but I can tell you Medisca is different. They go above and beyond to show their appreciation. After the of week of trainings and activities they held the new annual MedGala (Christmas Party). This was an amazing and elegant event at a glamorous venue. Top performers received awards, everyone enjoyed a five star meal and danced the night away. What stood out was the owner and CEO took time to speak individually with anyone who wished, taking as much time needed to talk with everyone. When I spoke with him I was so impressed with how much he genuinely cares about his employees. I don’t see Medisca going anywhere but up. Anyone who has the passion, drive and the “IT” factor has the opportunity to be apart of something special at Medisca.

Cons

I don’t have anything negative to say about working at Medisca.
