Medline Industries Employer Reviews

I have read a lot of negative reviews but must say I truly enjoy my job. I am lucky and am in a good division who cares deeply about their employees and is at the forefront in the company for improving work-life balance, increasing pay for those who deserve it, and developing great employees.

I do understand the negative reviews though. Many of my – more... friends have had terrible managers who will throw them under the table in their zeal to advance, or who are just horrible managers in general. Also, pay starts low because of the bonus program. You can get heavily bonused but they consider your base and bonus as your whole salary; when comparing your salary to the industry standard, it will be lower, but your bonus will put you on the high end of the range. Depending on your position your bonus could be in your control or not at all, so be careful. The higher you get in the company, though, the more incentives you get, so if you can stick it out and move up they will really make it worth your while.

Overall it's a good company where you can go far in the right situations. I learned more in my first year here than in any of my other jobs combined. As a whole they are making strides to be more balanced, but it will take time to change the culture of work first, life later. – less

Medline provides products and clinical solutions to all markets across the continuum of healthcare.

The pace you are expected to work is pretty ridiculous, in addition you are not allowed to have more than 1 error for every 10,000 picks. Usually you only have 10,000 picks a month, so there is no room for error. They should be paying their workers more with such a crazy expectation.

The manager for this position will lie, stab you in the back and treat you poorly if he does not like your personality. In my opinion Medline's a great company but this manager has the personality of a block of wood and will treat you horribly.

was hired as a machine op 1 but was well qualified for machine op 2 which is a $4.00 difference. My shift supervisor had no clue how to run the machines but always had something to say about how the machines run and how to run the line. Op 1 pays less in wages but does majority of the work and is constantly scrutinized. This company has no procedures – more... on advancing to Op 2. When asked about advancement all they can say is "sit tight" while they hire Op 2's off the street which is complete nonsense. If you are looking for just a job where your superiors have no clue about your job and not for a career then I highly recommend Medline. Oh yea there is one positive thing about the job.......CLOCKING OUT TO GO HOME! – less

Management is respectful and listen to everyone.
Company is fun to work for due to the events going on and based on family.

Working at Medline is like communicating with kindergartners. Management wants you to fall in line, go from point a to b. Management lacks the knowledge to realize they skip steps while telling you to go a to b. Don't make suggestions or give ideas because its family owned and they seem to know everything. ..except how to keep employees that are great

Co-workers were great
Sales management team is in over their heads

Despite some poor backroom bureaucracy and bad corporate liaisons, it wasn't too bad.

Loved it

Learned alot and management was nice

Paperwork was tough

Management is very political in promotions and reviews. The company had no feeling when you had family issues such as a sick parent. If Medline wanted to get rid of you they made your life living hell hoping you would quit!

I got promoted the first 3 months
Team work played a big role in this production area
I enjoyed learning and expanding my knowledge

Worked in Shipping/ Receiving.....Leared real quick that if you wern't in there click they didn't like you, and would try and get you fired...
This was one of the most shady places Ive worked for. Loved my job made 0 errors and maxed out and still got treated like a nobody..
Management was the worst all they cared about was making themselves money!

nice place to work family business checked medical kits for surgery made by production i learned a lot about medical supplies and different instruments used in different type of surgerys everything had to be accounted for in that pack loved my job

Picking orders mostly for nursing homes. They make you move so quickly its impossible not to make mistakes, and they call you stupid! that's why they're losing all their business. Management is "all about themselves ". They don't care about the little guy, it's all in the NUMBERS. More and more "new " rules every day. Pay sucks. Company in way over – more... their head. They need to stay in Il where they belong. No work/life balance at all. – less

Fun, fast paced work environment. great chances to move up within the company and always something new to learn. Upper Management at corporate level is wonderful. lower management lacking guidance and coaching Techniques. we have four deadlines each day which makes time management a very important skill to have. Customer Service is one of the things – more... the company is known for, always going above and beyond. This is a very rewarding company to work for. – less

Sales and marketing of products disposable and responsabily 2 Sales Representatives
Promotion motivation to achieve the goals

its awfull i work there right now and u go in at 10 and u never know when ur gona get off so there is never just a 8 hour day there its more like 12 to 14 hours a day and management is the worst i have ever ever seen they dont care about you all they care about is them selves they dont care if your having a baby or any important like that

I would walk into work to start my shift, jump onto a forklift and start placing items in the aisles and on the docks to get ready to be shipped out. The management team was always on top and up to date on everything that was going on about the deliveries. the hardest part of the job was there was never enough people to work so my shift would work sometimes – more... late into the night and early morning. I didn't care to much because there was always a lot of overtime and i love overtime. Medline was a good place to work overall. – less
