Pros

None worth mentioning, None. At. All.

Cons

My first day at Medisca, HR didn't even bother showing up. I wasn't even provided with basic stationary like pens and paper. The director of my department, as well as the manager, didn't even bother to introduce me to the team, so for weeks, no one even knew I was part of their team and I just had to walk around and introduce myself. Everything just went downhill from there, nothing improved. Not even when they made us do their employee satisfaction survey, because after a year of waiting, the results still haven't been shared with us. Instead, they made us do ANOTHER survey about the current pandemic situation. And this is a whole other story on how they have a complete disregard for their employees health and safety. Employees that have the possibility to work from home aren't allowed and when you speak up, they reprimand you by giving a disciplinary notice that they force you to sign. Besides putting a few hand sanitizers around the place, they made no effort to make it a safe place to work. The cubicles are less than a meter apart. So when you don't feel comfortable going into work everyday and you're stressed out, they make you feel like guilty and as if you're being unreasonable. And instead of giving more vacation days to de-stress during this pandemic, they punish you for taking time off by taking away hours from your next paycheck. And forget those of us that have small children. They don't give a crap about your situation. It's either you come into to work, or quit to take care of your kids. Til this day, management still didn't have a team meeting about the pandemic situation, not even to ask us how we are all doing. They have their eyes closed and are pretending like it's business as usual, which is not about having the best quality products but about how much they can sell and profit from covid19. They make you feel like there's nothing better out there, they beat you down like a dog, and when they've finally broken you, they will try to make you feel like you're worthless. So when you finally have the courage to leave this dump, the manager will talk to other employees about how you were ungrateful and how they were going to fire you anyways. On top of all that the manager goes on to tell everyone that he has a lot of connections in the Industry and can ruin your career. This entire company is unbelievable. They offer lip service when they tell you to be transparent and honest with them. Don't trust them, they will use what you said against you. And don't even get me started on how unfairly they treat the warehouse employees. They're treating like second class citizens, it's incredible how they're not even treated like humans beings, and proof is that they're paying them minimum wage.

Pros

I have worked for Medisca for four years and could not be happier. The company is rooted in quality and is the industry leader in innovation! We recently held our Global Commercial Summit in Montreal and I could not have been more impressed. Employees from all over the world joined in a week of networking, training, mentoring and team building that surpassed every expectation I had. Senior management took time to engage, interact and take feedback from all in attendance. Every day they were open to new ideas and everyone’s perspectives. Feeling appreciated is one of the biggest downfalls of most companies but I can tell you Medisca is different. They go above and beyond to show their appreciation. After the of week of trainings and activities they held the new annual MedGala (Christmas Party). This was an amazing and elegant event at a glamorous venue. Top performers received awards, everyone enjoyed a five star meal and danced the night away. What stood out was the owner and CEO took time to speak individually with anyone who wished, taking as much time needed to talk with everyone. When I spoke with him I was so impressed with how much he genuinely cares about his employees. I don’t see Medisca going anywhere but up. Anyone who has the passion, drive and the “IT” factor has the opportunity to be apart of something special at Medisca.

Cons

I don’t have anything negative to say about working at Medisca.
