Anyone working at McMaster Carr willing to give a referral?
Agree with TechZaddy’s response. Spent 6 years at McMaster. Easily the most toxic place I’ve ever worked. Not worth your mental health. They’ll reel you in with a decent benefits package but you’ll quickly realize you’ve made a huge career mistake.
Micromanage? What location? I’m sure the tech is ancient but was considering since it was in a place I wanted to move to
Management in general is a joke. They hire newbies straight out of college into supervisor roles and it’s comical how horrible they are. Most of them have never had a real job and all of the sudden they are in charge of a team of people. This was a major source of frustration from those of us not in a supervisor role. I worked at the “Chicago” branch which is actually in Elmhurst, IL so if you’re hoping to be near the city just get that idea out of your head now. And yes, the tech is ancient. They were working on an expansion when I left which I thought was crazy because the existing tech infrastructure was from decades ago. Idk how they can build anything on top of it as is unless they’ve made major changes since I left. They talk a big game when it comes to being a great place to work, but in practice they don’t even come close.

Oh god. Don’t work there. It’s career ending and an archaic company that will not help your career. Worked there 7 years. It took me 2 job leaps after I quit just to land a job at a FAANG company. It’s one of the worst companies around and that’s coming from me @Amazon. Honestly, I’m surprised there hasn’t been a mass shooting.
Oh geez that sucks. I guess I can cross it off the list. Were you in software at McMaster carr? I definitely don’t want to be part of a mass shooting
The are still working off of MSDOS. They are so intertwined to this that they physically cannot move into the 21st century without rebuilding their company from the ground up. Management is TOXIC. Most people you see on the career page online no longer work for the company. The benefits are good but it’s literally a golden handcuffs situation. Go to Glassdoor and read for yourself. Also, HQ is located in Elmhurst, IL. They say Chicago online which is a lie but it’s 45 mins-1 hour drive from the city.
