Medline Industries reviews

Micro managed, no breaks, just a 30 minute lunch. Management is B*t*hy, and unprofessional. Close to your 90 days they start weeding ppl out. Start listening in on calls. When on calls if you call out for help they are very rude and really aren’t helpful. They are terrible with getting orders filled for patients. They do not respond to time off request even when it’s sent weeks in advance. YOU TEXT A LINE when you are unable to make it in. And they wait until you have 5 tardies and then they place you on a final written warning no warning or communications before then. TERRIBLE DEPT, TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT. Pay starts at 17 a hour. CALLS BACK TO BACK MORE THAN 80 calls a day

The Medline rep runs their territory like it is their own business..this is not all bad, but it creates a lot of extra work and can cut into profits for the rep. The rep is involved in determining pricing on non contract items, collecting on past due accounts, sharing in freight costs to name a few examples. In a busy territory, it is very time consuming that it takes away from growing business. Additionally, newer reps have a house draw on existing business. I began my month at almost negative $10,000 commission. Some months were still great but some months I owed the company money (and the negative carried forward to the next month). The rep before me did not have this and when I tried to negotiate that number down after a great review I was told it was never going to change. There are so many transactions every day at Medline, that even if they got it right 99% of the time, that still leaves dozens and dozens of errors for the rep to sort out and sometimes take a financial hit. I felt like I was constantly apologizing every day to customers.
