McMaster-Carr reviews

It's a dog eat dog world. You are expected to follow the rules and not have an opinion. You are not valued for your work, but for whose butt you kiss. Very stressful. There is no work/life balance.

A lot of management do not have business-related backgrounds (english majors, teachers, etc.) Expectations raised each year, even if your job function or title has not materially changed Expectations aren't always clear Can be managed by someone who has no management experience, or doesn't have the people skills required to be a manager Placed on teams without thought for team synergies (who would work best with who)
