Medical Murray Reviews

This is a great place to work! If your idea of greatness is stepping on a sea of legos in the middle of the night carrying a pot full of chili. To start off, there is a lack of onboarding to the company in every department and location. You are hired and without any proper training are expected to understand company procedures and processes. There are magnitudes of tribal knowledge, not written down anywhere to reference, which you are expected to pick up. If you cannot do this in record time, you are and will be blamed for mistakes. This leads us to our next topic. Management has a comfortable habit of blaming employees for company faults, which has led to a lack of trust with employees. This lack of trust breaks down any honest communication that COULD have been had between employee and employer. Instead of stating what the issues are, everyone is just pointing fingers at the next person. The company is poorly managed throughout, from middle management to executive leadership. For the employees that are favored by management, you will be overworked as all tasks will fall onto you. Corporate politics is played heavily and left unchecked. Favorites are picked, not by how well you are at your job but by how much leadership likes how you talk to them. On the other hand, if any of the Leopolds don't like you, consider yourself on borrowed time. Management is all around messy. You can ask the same person, the same question and get a different answer depending on when you asked and the mood they were in. Management will bend and break the rules when they like but employees are somehow meant to follow these same changing rules. Leadership lacks any consistency, and it will ultimately become the employees problem. The company states they want to grow and expand. Frankly, leadership doesn't have what it takes to get the company to the next step. The company takes no accountability in its failures and refuses to implement any lasting changes. It keeps powering through by blaming employees and repeating mistakes. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well, Medical Murray has a way of convincing itself it's not insane, which some would call, delusional. To end our saga, this is indeed a family company. Not a well adjusted family that has dinner every night but a dysfunctional one with screaming and neglect. Worry not, nepotism runs rampant. The company is run by underqualified, yet overconfident people. Then again, who wouldn't take a job with zero consequences no matter how bad you are at your job. You can't really fire your kid, as this would make for an awkward holiday season. Accept if desperate but beware you'll be job searching within 1-2 years. Also, there are zero perks. You have to bring your own coffee and forks/plates, I recommend Costco for cost-savings.

This is a family-owned company that is run like an extension of a dysfunctional family. First off, management at the director level is very hands off and sit, literally, in a darkened office and NEVER go to the work area where workers are doing the actual work. They prefer armchair management and run the operation from spreadsheets and input from their minions. They purport to pursue continuous improvement and lean manufacturing principles, but its all smoke and mirrors and lip service. Turnover is extreme and HR is baffled as to why. Over a 2 month period, 10 of 12 new hires left the company either through attrition of their own volition. One person in HR runs the HR operation with an iron fist and also never goes to the workfloor to check on people. The only production supervisor left about 2 months ago under duress. One of the other production specialists opted out to take a technical role, citing stress under the current position. as of this writing, another production specialist just left last week. The median age has to around low 30s because one of the owners has some affiliation with a college, and so there are ALOT of fresh bioengineering grads their with zero real world experience and a deer in the headlights look as well as a lack of communication skills when it comes to speaking to other generations. After a while alot of them develop a condescending attitude. The ones that made it to management are also very inexperienced and unorganized. You will be expected to adapt to rampant changes daily. There is no MRP or inventory system. All transactions are done manually by one person, maybe two at this writing. There is always pushback and hostility in the shipping and receiving area. There is no succession planning-vital areas are not covered in case someone leaves the company; this includes warehouse, shipping, and label control. Of course nepotism and favoritism are rampant here. A friend of one of the daughter's husband, whose credentials are dubious at best with regards to her, had a friend with no mfg. experience, got hired and recently promoted.
