Pros

I am an ex Comfort Medical employee. Please see below as to why I felt it necessary to write a review on the Glassdoor site.

Cons

Over a year ago Coloplast acquired Comfort Medical, LLC in which I worked. Comfort Medical employees were informed in March 2017 that we would become Coloplast employees starting on January 1, 2018. Many months later or the week before Thanksgiving Coloplast used a third party background screening company to screen employees presently employed at Comfort Medical. Approximately a month later and the last Friday of the year I was terminated and lost important health benefits days later on 12/31/2017 due to a failed criminal background check from almost 10 years ago. It was not taken into account that I disclosed this information about my background on my original application 4 years ago with Comfort Medical. My supervisor knew of the circumstances and that they were not of a violent nature, or stealing or anything at all that would compromise Comfort Medical. It was decided by several supervisors to give me an opportunity to prove myself. It was not taken into account that I was an outstanding employee with excellent performance evaluations done each year that included one promotion becoming a team leader/supervisor. I dedicated 4 years to Comfort Medical that included many projects and played key roles in developing processes. I was never called by Coloplast HR to discuss my attributes during my tenure with Comfort Medical or an opportunity to explain the circumstances around my background . I was just abruptly fired.

Pros

At Coloplast, one of the key strengths is its global scale and diversified portfolio across multiple divisions. The company is particularly well established and highly respected in the ostomy space, with strong brand recognition and a solid reputation among clinicians and healthcare systems

Cons

Limited access to key contracts within the Advanced Wound Care (AWD/WTR) segment, creating barriers to growth and competitiveness * Product pricing not consistently aligned with perceived clinical value or market positioning * Ongoing quality concerns reported with foam dressings, impacting confidence in the portfolio * Lack of visible acknowledgment or accountability from leadership regarding field challenges * Perception of misalignment between field feedback and leadership response, with concerns not always addressed transparently * Limited cross-functional support for sales teams; heavy reliance on field reps to gather insights without sufficient internal analytical or evidence-based backing * Missed opportunities to provide structured, data-driven support to strengthen customer conversations and value messaging
