Pros

It is a good cause, albeit a for profit company. Also decent health care benefits. Some good people, but not many.

Cons

At Prolacta, it doesn’t matter how hard you work or how good you are at your job. What does matter is how well you can brown nose your way to the top. Politics, favoritism, and demeaning executives. They set unrealistic sales goals and the employees suffer. Honestly, this place is an HR nightmare waiting to happen. But don’t go complaining to HR— they won’t do anything. Employee morale is low. There is a reason why the turnover rate is so high. All the good employees have long left or are miserable. Most employees there are incompetent and selfish. No one is a team player. Left a few months ago and haven’t looked back!

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment so we can improve. We’d like the chance to make things right, and invite you to submit an anonymous note with details in the suggestion box, or email GrowWithUs@prolacta.com. As a company that has achieved rapid growth and success in recent years, we’ve experienced some growing pains that we have been actively addressing. We are not always perfect, but we try hard and are committed. For example, over the last year, we have listened closely to staff and taken action to open up frequent communication channels to keep all employees up to date on topics of interest, from newsletters and town halls to breakfasts, surveys and an open door policy with leadership. We have also put in place changes ranging from better holiday time off policies to improvements in the work environment in specific departments. We welcome more ideas for ways we can make our team feel supported so we can all focus on our critically important mission of helping fragile babies. Thanks again for taking the time to share your concerns.

Pros

Excellent work life balance. Promotes talent from within often adjusting to keep valued staff by offering training. We literally work to save babies.

Cons

Work can be somewhat monotonous depending on the department you work in.

Pros

Pay is the only benefit. They will continue to make a ton of money because of their business model.

Cons

The upper managment is all white guys. The middle is filled with almost 100% Asians. Most are fresh to the USA and act like their still in their home country. They ride you like your a stupid animal. Then use saving babies in almost cult fashion to make you take abuse from under qualified bosses. They expect you to intervene in the middle of sexual harassment endangering yourself. The training alone takes weeks of reading and work. They overly complicate the language to make up for the fact they are non native speakers. One sentence was 58 words. I had to read it 2 times. That's the normal paperwork style. If you speak clear and simple they accuse you of not knowing what your saying. My boss would cut me off mid sentence and say your wrong. I have 30 years of experience doing what I do... I took it and moved on but it kept happening. You go to HR and they say its cultural differences. You get no help anywhere.
