Midea Group

As a former member of the marketing team, I acknowledge the positives but must shed light on major areas for improvement. I am extremely thankful for my time there, as it taught me a lot but it honestly sadness me the regression of the potential this company once had. 

Firstly, the marketing team was a fantastic group of individuals who made my time there enjoyable. However, it's crucial to note that there has been significant turnover since my departure, indicating severe underlying issues within the company.

My experience with Midea started well with the first year exceeding expectations. I was given excellent feedback and hands-on training opportunities by my manager and senior manager. The benefits were incredible, and the company seemed eager to make progressive changes for the betterment of the employees. 

As time passed, I witnessed a decline in the company's culture and values, or rather their true colors started to show. Despite claims of valuing innovative ideas and putting their employees' welfare first, the reality was that they often fell victim to bureaucratic red tape and focused on only the bottom line while sacrificing anything and anyone they deemed not in line with the “business goals”. This was all in the name of appeasing the main corporate office in China regardless of long-term potential or strategy that makes more sense in American markets. Basically, you were not doing work because it was strategic or made sense but rather because it was what you were told you had to do. 

Unfortunately, the perks that were initially offered and what once attracted talent like me have all been slowly disappearing such as flexible and hybrid work schedules, forums for direct employee feedback to leadership, support, career development funding and most importantly funding for new initiatives that would grow the brand’s awareness and foster a better work environment. Once again, this decline seems to be driven by the influence and excessive control from the parent company in China.

Attempts to address concerns through HR channels often led to superficial acknowledgment without meaningful resolution. While the company portrays a commitment to employee satisfaction and a positive culture, this often translates into token gestures such as pizza parties or happy hours than rather addressing deeper issues. 

Several individuals who I am still in touch with have been let go or were forced to leave due to unbearable circumstances. Now their workload shifted to those who remain with no additional resources and still a major lack of understanding by leadership. The attributes that the company values are “yes” employees. 

Promotional opportunities within the marketing team and others are scarce. This imbalance hindered career growth and left many talented individuals feeling stagnant. The only way to move up is for the people above you to get fired or leave.

While there were undoubtedly positive aspects and memorable moments, the overall workplace environment was regrettably toxic with unrealistic expectations. The only positive parts in the end were my former team, 401k match benefits, and the gained experience. 

TL;DR Honest Advice: For entry-level young professionals seeking experience, Midea may offer a great starting point, as many responsibilities will be placed upon you giving plenty of on-the-job first-hand experience training. For those aspiring to grow in their careers, this might not be the right place for you. 

I hope the company reconsiders its treatment of employees and prioritizes listening to their feedback.

First, I’m a current employee and would like to note that Midea is quite a good place to work—they offer competitive salaries, an ample benefits package, and great PTO. However, during my nearly two years at the company, many progressive company policies that were instituted years ago—and were active during the first half of my employment—have been curtailed or eliminated entirely. 

I started at Midea during the time of the Great Resignation/“Worker Shortage” in early 2022. Upon my hire, I was pleased to find that the company stood apart from many (i.e., offered hybrid/remote work, early Friday office closure/dismissal prior to holidays that fell on Mondays, two annual incentive bonuses [offering several thousand additional dollars]…just to note a few). 

Within a year’s time, all of these perks were slowly eliminated. The hybrid model (three days in office; two days at home) is being curtailed, with a strict near-definite return to office policy (5 days per week) due to be implemented late this year or early next year. Note: they’re currently listing remote work as a perk. 

In addition, Midea was indecisive and flip-flopped multiple times regarding my exempt vs. non exempt status. I was initially hired as an exempt employee. After four months of employment, I was notified an “internal audit” had been conducted, and that I’d be reclassified as non-exempt. Only from that moment, I began accruing PTO—meaning I missed out on several month of accruing PTO, thus leaving me 0.0 hours of PTO many months into my employment with Midea. 

Several months later, I began volunteering for duties that sat outside my designated job responsibilities—this required travel. Due to me operating under the non-exempt designation, I was paid overtime for travel and the additional work I was performing. The company was then quick to reclassify me as exempt, thus no more OT pay. 

In all, Midea has been a decent experience. My direct manager is utterly exceptional, and I thrive under him. However, the company has taken a turn and has been bringing back antiquated practices, such as curtailing remote work. 

TL;DL: at first, Midea was a very progressive company, offering several outstanding perks. As several months passed, these perks were curtailed or eliminated in their entirety, as the market seemingly shifts back in the employer’s favor. Exempt vs nonexempt status was always in-flux/unclear. Work from home will probably be eliminated all together by next year (currently one WFH day offered). 

Backed by manufacturing giant, Midea group, headquartered overseas, Midea America Corporation is a startup here in US looking to ramp up. Love the laid back culture (casual dress, unlimited PTO) and the autonomy to make decision and influence the organization for its future growth.

There are challenges at every turn, but being able to collaborate and see the daily improvement gets me going here.

Even though global HQ is in China, company is very localized and diverse. I get to work with top tier talents from well-known organizations in the US.

If you are looking for next step in your career, this is perfect place to challenge yourself and grow with the organization!

To begin with despite of being leading HA manufacturer the company is pretty much a startup in US. Many processes are not well-established. So you need to be prepared to be responsible for everything and anything you do might not be enough. Working hours are unlimited due to crazy workload, permanent lack of stuff and proper organization structure, time difference with Chinese headquarter. Be ready to have a couple of TCs weekly behind working hours. Be ready for multiple reporting lines asking same questions. Be ready to have your working conditions changed right after you’re hired. Be ready for cultural clash and big difference in corporate culture. To sum up, It’s a good place to grow and learn if you’re prepared to live at work and capable to work under big pressure. 

In a call center environment it can be fast paced because of the heavy inbound calls. When a customer has an issue with a unit, the customer is to call the call center for service, parts and any other inquiries. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to communicate with people and help them with their issues. Building a relationship quickly with a customer is key to great customer service. In a call center working with your co-workers as a team is very important and we have a great team. The hardest part of my job is locating service for these appliances. 

* In charge of the office open to close
*Learned how to apply for visas in different countries for the Chinese      sales representatives
*Very open mind to a management concept
*Great relationship with coworkers new in USA
*Language was very difficult issue due to Chinese culture
*Company really cares about the employees

Working at  Midea America if is fun and the enviroment is not too hectic,but it has it's perks.  I think they dont incentivate their employers and they give no benefits and there is no opportunity of growth within the company. 
The salary that they pay is very little for the amount of work that is done within the company, and even if they are flexible with their hours I wish they could give their employers more benefits or more incentives to mantain the position in the company.

Working in the Human Resources dept. has helped me develop my professional business skills, as well as my personal life skills because of the constant challenges. 

Midea has a great work life balance in which they are flexible and understanding of employees personal lives.  They are family oriented with multiple family activities throughout the year.

Fast-paced and growing company. Needs to improve on people management and reducing turnover. While the dynamic environment offers plenty of opportunities to learn and grow, the high employee turnover and lack of consistent leadership support can hinder long-term engagement. A stronger focus on employee development, recognition, and work-life balance would enhance retention and foster a more positive workplace culture.

The company offers unlimited PTO and the benefits attached are great, but employees are not paid for the work they do and are not fought for by management when the time comes to talk about raises and promotions. There is room to grow as the company is continuously growing, but you need to have the right people to help you truly excel.
