Pros

You’ll have a lot of opportunity to grow and gain valuable experience. Especially if you are halfway competent and hard-working. Entrepreneurial spirit means that you’re not bogged down by paperwork and procedures. I enjoyed my team although that will completely depend on the area you work in.

Cons

Medline can’t expect to retain talent with their salaries. When you are working hard and clearly dedicated to your role and still making a fraction of what you could, it saps your motivation. It’s too bad because Medline has a lot going for them, but they’ve clearly chosen their model: hire young employees, underpay them, and accept that good people will leave. I can’t imagine that it’s actually best for them in the long run. Health insurance options are not good. Because Medline hires many young people, there’s a lot of weird gaps in processes and knowledge that should be standard in the industry. Divisions are reluctant to hire experienced professionals because it exposes their unpolished business practices. Also the pay. Although you gain a lot of experience, you’re most likely not going to learn to do things the right way because there aren’t enough experienced leaders.

Pros

Great facilities with great food choices.

Cons

Favoritism all around the company. Top leaders don't hold themselves accountable. For being a health related company benefits are very poor. They only care about bottom line and not the employees.

Pros

Benefits are on-par Pay is on-par for certain roles New building was nice to move into (On-site Gym, Cafeteria, Starbucks On-Site) Technology seems on-par for employees and meeting rooms Shuttles to/ from certain Metra stations

Cons

Family - The owners don't care about you, unless they know and like you. Management - All upper/ executive management are guys that have been there from "Old Medline" time and aren't good at their job, but were promoted since they 'knew' the family Jewish Inclusion - only the right type of 'Jew' is allowed to be promoted to executive management. Yes, nothing anti-semetic here, its actually the opposite at this company. Communication - communication on all levels is broken. For "Old Medline" employees, people have to tip-toe around them in order to not make them feel uncomfortable yet get reprimanded for saying something that could be construed as 'rude'. Advancement - non existent unless you know the family or know someone high up that likes you. They will string people along for years even when the person exceeds past the whole group. Don't expect to ever work from home. They have the capabilities to do so, but will not let you (oh, unless you are high enough up and know the family). Special treatment is a BIG problem here. They believe that if they throw certain benefits at employees, they can cover up what a terrible company this is. Shady managers across all areas (operations, sales, executives). Work here for a year, then move on to a better company. I worked here for several and dealt with their all of these Cons, then moved on. If the POTUS signs a tariff to tax healthcare products from China, Medline will go out of business.
