Manager - Manager MSC Industrial Direct Employee Review

Thank you for giving us your feedback. We’re disappointed that you don’t feel management is interested in hearing about any concerns and that promotion decisions have been negatively influenced. We take our assessment of candidates very seriously and hire and promote based on critical factors for the job. The feedback you shared regarding lack of career path was also identified through our associate engagement survey and one we are taking action to address. Growth does not always mean promotional growth; sometimes it can mean expanding your knowledge base by being exposed to different areas of the organization by participating on cross-functional teams and expanding your overall knowledge of the business. We encourage our associates who are interested in participating on a team, learning a different area of the business or improving their skills to speak with their manager about current or future potential opportunities. If you do not feel comfortable discussing your concerns openly with your manager, we encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner. Our Open Door Policy supports this and we embrace that this is part of the MSC culture. It’s how we’re able to continue to grow and be successful. We have started to respond to reviews -- both positive and negative ones. Although we may not respond to all, the feedback we receive causes us to either change course of action or better communicate actions we’re already taking to make the company a better place to work. Thank you again for taking the time to post a review.
