McMaster-Carr reviews

being treated like a warm body, constantly moved, managing by walking around, unrealistic tasks and metrics, quiet assembly line like work environment. You clock in, work, take your break (at a predetermined time, take your lunch (again predetermined, like elementary school), take another 15 min break then go home. Very impersonal cold environment. never challenged at work

Very high pressure organization. You'll be lucky to make it to being fully or even partially vested, in their retirement plan. Don't be one minute late to work, even if there is a jackknifed big-rig blocking the entire freeway, they will still blame you, and say that you should have found a way to make it on time. Literally. Very physically demanding warehouse job, helps you to get a lot of exercise, but lots of injuries happen, especially repetitive motion injuries. Management is overly rigid and you feel scrutinized, every second. Loud work environment, bad for ears. Someone wrote, about this company, "prepare to get fired," which was an apt comment, which I echo. Even the people that manage to hang in for a couple of decades, fear being fired, any day. My nick-name for the company was "McMonster-Carr." They hire these management track kids, right after they receive their bachelor degree, to lord it over the rank and file, whom management prefers to have a master degree. Go figure. Management has an elitist attitude, but they are mostly kids. The turn over is dizzying.
