MediPharm Labs Inc Management reviews

It is really interesting facility to work in, people were really nice and very collaborative when it came to projects and getting things done. Since I left, majority of management has changed/left themselves so I am not sure what the current state is like. HR was very supportive whenever they were involved. Went through very tough times and several people were let go in groups throughout my time there.

Pros

Monthly events/snacks for employees

Cons

No job security, no benefits, less than ideal salary

No job security restructured three times in 19 months

Custodian/Cleaner (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 19 January 2022

No job security saw a lot of good people go. Don’t let your guard down. You give your all and it wasn’t enough. This time I was in the restructuring and lost my position through no fault of my own.Upper echelon doesn’t care it’s all about the dollars.

Pros

Not many.

Cons

Always walking on egg shells because you see good people let go all the time.

Could have been so much better

Production Technician (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 1 May 2021

The higher ups promised a lot and the workers delivered a lot. Even management was good, supportive and kind and understanding. But when the stocks didnt reflect that upper management gutted this place. Was really fun at first, really productive and turned into the average, low pay, high turnover workplace. I hope a lot of hope for this place and so did lots of other people involved there. Too bad upper management got greedy.

Cons

Pay cuts, long hours, no upward movement

Fast-paced, unforgiving workplace

Manager (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 9 February 2021

I worked her for over a year and loved the first year tremendously. Amazing manager and co-workers, many talented people with exceptional skills. Then the direction and goals of the company were unclear and changed frequently. Not much time available to properly plan a new product launch, things were just slapped together at times under immense pressure. In the last half year, many people were let go and the company was restructure with based on who was most popular or had the loudest voice. Many talented people were let go because of selfish senior leaders trying to climb the corporate ladder. Not enough resources to do proper and thorough work. HR appeared helpful but had little actual power to do anything and there was a lot of gossip and low morale in general.

Pros

High salaries

Cons

Crazy expectations, not rewards, raises or promotions for doing a great job

Over-competitive but satisfactory working environment

Production Technician (Current Employee) - Barrie, ON - 8 May 2020

A lot of stressful competition including bad-mouthing among different shifts. Other than that, a good startup to work in and be a part of. Satisfactory management participation and communication.

Fast Paced in an exciting new industry

Distribution and Logistics Supervisor/Warehouse Manager (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 19 December 2019

I learned a lot about the cannabis industry while working at Medipharm Labs. I was promoted after 5 months and then told I was not qualified for the title I was given. I was then walked out the door "without cause" instead of offered another position or title. People in management are bringing "their people" and that's what happens in the corporate world unfortunately. You are never safe.
