Pros

-Meaningful mission. We provide life-saving compounded medications for animals in need which makes what you're selling feel genuinely worthwhile. -Real opportunity to grow. There are multiple examples of promotions across the organization. If you prove you're a hard worker and a true asset to the team you will be rewarded for it. -Remote work flexibility that is hard to find elsewhere

Cons

-Fast-paced growing company where things can change quickly. You need to be comfortable with shifting responsibilities and adapting on the fly. -Processes are still being built out as the company scales so if you need everything perfectly defined this might not be the right fit. That said if you enjoy figuring things out and building something it can also be one of the more exciting parts of the job.

Pros

Small company that is growing and very successful. Each employee can have influence and be impactful. Great work life balance with leadership support, both professionally and personally. Every day you get to help care for pet patients.

Cons

As a small company, everything you do (and don’t do) is transparent. Fast growth of the company means a lot of changes and adjustments. Some thrive in this environment, others do not. It’s retail pharmacy, so it can be tough sometimes.

Pros

Good team. I enjoyed working with the others there. Great team atmosphere

Cons

Management conducted several rounds of unexpected layoffs while simultaneously holding hiring events, which created uncertainty and hurt employee morale. Compensation did not feel adequate given the workload and expectations of the role. The culture was very cliquish, and favoritism appeared to influence opportunities and treatment of employees. Additionally, employees who expressed differing opinions or challenged leadership decisions often seemed to be targeted and were later terminated, creating an environment where people felt uncomfortable speaking openly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recognizing the strong team atmosphere and your colleagues. We're glad those relationships made a positive impact during your time at Mixlab. We also appreciate your candid feedback. Like many other companies during the economic downturn of 2022, we unfortunately needed to conduct two rounds of layoffs. This is something we never take lightly and only as a last resort. We're grateful that Mixlab has experienced significant growth since then, allowing us to continue expanding our team to meet the needs of our customers. We understand how difficult those decisions can be for those affected and for the broader team. Creating a workplace where employees feel heard, respected, and supported is incredibly important to us. While we don't believe favoritism or retaliation reflect our values, we recognize that perception matters, and feedback like yours helps us continue evaluating how we communicate, lead, and build trust across the organization. Regarding compensation, we regularly benchmark our pay against the market to help ensure we remain competitive while also continuing to invest in our people through growth opportunities and benefits. We know there is always room to improve, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. We sincerely thank you for your contributions during your time with Mixlab and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
