Medela US - Horrible Company

Disappointed!

new user
Is it just me or has Medela become a company it's founding father would cringe to know about. Ollie is probably up in heaven wondering where he went wrong! The company is in decline and will continue to be until Leadership is replaced.

MG is the worst of the lot. Maybe because she has Michael Larson's ear, her mistakes are swept under the carpet. First the Director of Managed Markets who screwed Medela over, then appointing a VP with no leadership experience. What's next?!

Huge layoffs since profits are down and leadership is blaming it on Anthem. Maybe leadership should have had a strategic plan in place for both innovative disruption and pricing wars. The lack of pre-planning is astounding! The company and it's profits will continue to loose. What is sad is that the hardworking employees suffer the most! Layoffs, lack of opportunity and a toxic work environment. No thank you!!!

HR is the worst I have ever experienced. They make mistake after mistake - setting Medela up for lawsuits. Perhaps having a leader in HR who actually looked out for the employees as well as Medela would make a difference. For some that will come too late! AM retire - you suck!!!

New VP DY bringing in all his cronies to "improve" things. How that working out?
 












I was laid off from Medela in Nov 2023 from the NICU side alomg with 20 other sales reps. It seems they kept some of the reps that have been there 30 years in the same territory. I immediately brought in new business in the Los Angeles territory. I was told when interviewing that Medela has 96% marketshare and the company is thriving. Every company wide sales call appeared to have great sales metrics. The colostrum collector a new product seems to be a waste of money. I now am having extremely difficult time getting another job.
