Pros

Good money and benefits, great opportunity for advancement.

Cons

After 30 years of dedicated service to McLane I was told my position would be eliminated. I was let go with a very small severance package and have endured many financial hardships since. McLane does not appreciate its employees or the faithful and dedicated service they have given.

Pros

This is mostly a great place to work. All of my bosses have been great. Coworkers are great and it is overall a fun place to work. Fantastic benefits.

Cons

Pay is horrible and raises are even worse. They only give two weeks of vacation until your seven year!

Pros

• Decent pay once you get used to the pace. • Good benefits package (medical, dental, 401k, etc.). • You’ll stay in shape — it’s definitely a workout every shift. • Some solid coworkers who help you get through the grind. • Job security — always work to be done.

Cons

• Very long hours and mandatory overtime with little notice. • Physically exhausting work — heavy lifting and fast pace every day. • Management communication is poor; expectations change without warning. • Favoritism is common — some people get easier assignments while others get overloaded. • Lack of appreciation for effort or reliability; it often feels like you’re just a number. • Equipment issues like broken jacks or scanners slow down production and increase stress. • Work-life balance is nearly impossible — constant pressure to hit unrealistic production goals.
