Hey, first time posting. McMaster Carr customer solutions role opened up and I applied. They want me to come back for an interview. I’ve seen some rough reviews about the Aurora branch (where I have applied). Anyone have experience there? Thanks in advance

Yeah I’d trust the reviews you read. The pay and benefits are really good but the work is incredibly boring/monotonous. Very clear divide between management and non-management roles and if you’re non-management, there is 0 room for growth. You’ll be micromanaged by someone who has never actually done your job (management is made up of people who either graduated engineering or went to an Ivy league school)

If you’re looking for career growth and challenging work opportunities then I’d advise against McMaster, but if you’re looking for a stable job, where you don’t like the work at all but it provides, then this could be a good fit (important to note that there is nothing wrong with the latter scenario, there are plenty of folks here who have worked here their entire careers and been okay with it)
