McMaster-Carr reviews

Stress, quarterly reorganizations, coworkers dropping like flies, incompetent upper management, backstabbing, nitpicking. If you got this far in all the reviews you read, you are probably going to convince yourself to take the job for the short-term. Good luck. Or take my advice and run away as far as you can.

The main issue with McMaster-Carr is that it promotes people to leadership positions who frankly have no business leading people. There are a few members of management who care and support their team, but they are pretty rare, and the higher up you go the worse it gets. Toxic leadership who don't know how to manage people, only work, is the main reason the reviews for McMaster are so low. I don't blame them tbh, considering there is 0 incentive to be good people managers. Instead, the environment just incentivizes you to burn out your employees and make sure everyone but you is to blame if anything goes wrong. They mask the toxicity as "high expectations". If you give feedback about the toxic culture, they'll just say you can't meet the high expectations. Some people prefer this. Those are the people who last long enough to become promoted and perpetuate the toxic culture.
