McMaster-Carr reviews

The regular employees are not respected, in fact they are disrespected on a daily basis. Its incredible what upper management gets away with....its almost like part of there training program is Treat Your Employees Like Idiots 101.

The corporate culture is such that there is almost a caste system between management and employees. Management and employees usually segregate into separate groups in the break rooms, as well as at functions outside the company. There seems to be an insurmountable barrier for a regular employee to be promoted into management. You seem to have to be hired into management to ever have a shot at moving up. Also, certain departments in the company are reluctant to clearly express performance expectations of employees. I believe expectations should be quantified and clearly stated. I also believe that those numbers should be publicly posted, as this fosters a sense of teamwork, and employees are more apt to strive for better performance through competition.
