Pros

Lots of autonomy and freedom to forge your own path (depending on your manager of course) and technology in use, while not the bleeding edge, is not archaic either. Salary was fair and quarterly bonuses were decent.

Cons

Promotion path is inconsistent, if it exists at all in your division/position. However overseas promotions are announced almost weekly. Vacation is entry-level, even for experienced professionals. "Culture" of the company is spoken of often, but it is not as wonderful as they think it is. Working from home is not part of this culture and likely never will be. While it is possible to work from home on occasion (or emergency), "butts in seats" is the culture - even in bad weather (snow storms). Recognition is severely lacking, even in the face of an annual "employee appreciation week". Getting trinkets and daily treats for a week in September is a nice gesture, but it doesn't excuse ignoring them for the rest of the year.

Pros

There are no pros for this company other than they are extremely good at extorting and producing profits by any means necessary.

Cons

Company is driven on greed at all costs there is no regard to their customers or employees. Results and profits come before all

Pros

Nice people, ok benefits, interesting work

Cons

If you’re considering a product management job at Medline, look elsewhere. Medline has a very toxic work culture. They demand your full day of non stop work. The teams are consistently understaffed and you are expected to constantly work late to take on the extra work. There is no work/life balance at this company. So much so I have heard a Division VP say that to succeed at this company you need to “give up other parts of your life”. They will keep you at a lower pay/position as long as they possibly can and only promote you once they feel forced to do so. The only way to get promoted quickly is to know someone in upper management or be a family member of someone in upper management. The company consistently puts making just a little bit more in profits over making their employees lives better. Management is also very out of touch with lower employees. Every manager at this company has dedicated their life to Medline and expects each employee to do the same at the expense of a work/life balance. Most teams/product divisions don’t hit the 10% bonus that are based on product performance/sales since they often set highly unrealistic goals. There is very high turnover at Medline and it is not surprising at all why. Avoid this company if you want to be happy in life.
