McMaster-Carr reviews

The benefits and pay are so good because they are just hiring competitive, collage age kids to do minimum wage work extremely accurate because college graduates have pride in their work. They abuse that pride. Your body will hurt, but your bank account will not. You will not need OT so your work/life balance is good because you will be completing 9-10 hours of work within the 8 hours you are there.

You are working at an extremely fast pace the entire day and barely have time to use the restroom. Direct supervisors are fresh out of select universities and have little to no management experience, and turnover for management is high. Since the supervisors are young, most don’t have families and can’t relate to an employee if they are experiencing difficulties at home. This inability to relate has harbored ill feelings towards management, and as a result few people are willing to put in extra time when operations are running lean. Management’s Expectations for high quality and efficiency are extreme, and has almost everyone concerned about losing their job on a daily basis. So much so that the stress level actually causes employees to be unable to concentrate on the task at hand for a full 8 hours, so their policies are actually counterproductive.
