Pros
I truly thought this company was on a path to improvement in the back half of 2016, then in 2017 everything started to completely descend into chaos. The roots of this company are admirable - working to help moms and babies. Unfortunately for it, other companies in the space do it better.
Cons
You watch a show like The Office and think a real work environment could never be so insane... but Ameda is worse, because it's not funny. Beyond the discord and petty politics one might expect, I've seen harassment, hostile and vindictive behavior, and actual employee endangerment. It is a culture of disrespect and complete lack of tact. Countless poor decisions are made in the absence of business rationale and logic. There is no accountability, there is no alignment, there is no strategic direction because it keeps changing or never existed. Fractured management and ingratiated underlings continue to chase shinies while the core is rotting ignored. What little executive direction starts to take shape is consistently undermined by information leaks that enable rogue actors to "choose their own adventure" and shape the narrative and outcomes to their own personal and political agendas. Cash flow is a constant worry while funds across the company are egregiously mismanaged. It is shocking that the doors stay open... but perhaps that's because it's been a long time since the last important audit. I wonder with this trajectory that the company is on whether that will even be an issue, as it seems to be doing everything in its power to become wholly obsolete in every aspect.
