Toxic, petty environment that feels as if it's run by circus clowns and ignorant bullies - Lactation Consultant Mahmee Employee Review

This is one company that is truly changing the world as we know it. Mahmee creates true value to mothers and babies and the system. CEO is incredibly smart and dedicated, and entire team and staff are all highly experienced, world-class and they have a focus unlike anywhere else.

Like a rocket ship, the company is quickly growing from a startup to a corporation, so things move fast and folks should know they have to learn and move quickly.

The company’s mission and wraparound care model have the potential to provide meaningful support to families. Many employees genuinely care about patients and work hard to provide quality service despite ongoing operational challenges.

One of the most concerning aspects of the organization involved patient billing practices. Patients were sometimes unaware of potential out-of-pocket costs until after services had already been provided. While disclosures may have existed during online registration, staff were discouraged from proactively discussing these charges beforehand. This frequently resulted in patients receiving unexpected bills ranging from approximately $100 to $300 and feeling misled. From an employee perspective, this created ethical concerns and damaged trust between patients and the organization. Leadership and organizational management were significant concerns during my time at the company. Decisions were often made with little planning and implemented at the last minute, creating confusion for providers, coordinators, and patients. Changes to schedules, workflows, and appointments frequently occurred without sufficient notice, leaving frontline staff responsible for managing patient frustration and resolving issues they had no role in creating. Communication from leadership could be inconsistent and, at times, unprofessional. Tension and disagreements among executives and managers were often visible to staff, contributing to a stressful and uncomfortable work environment. The company experienced multiple rounds of layoffs that appeared to stem from poor financial and operational planning. Employees were hired into roles without adequate infrastructure or workspace, only to later face uncertainty regarding job security. The most recent layoffs significantly impacted patient care and left employees feeling disposable, particularly when notifications were handled abruptly.
