in American history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is also known for his roles in the Gulf War, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom.īorn in Philadelphia, McMaster graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1984, and later earned a Ph.D. Oh wait, I'm a banker and the thought of a $2 billion family owned private company just made me cream myself.Herbert Raymond McMaster (born July 24, 1962) is a retired United States Army lieutenant general who served as the 25th United States National Security Advisor from 2017 to 2018. I guess a 100 year old $2 billion private company would be uninteresting to bankers. Plus, if I leave my current position at a Mutual Fund company for this, it would be seen as leaving financial services for industry and the most likely entry back in would be via an MBA. but it doesn't necessarily lend itself to M&A, Equity Research, other fields that most people on this site are looking for. I guess the question I am asking myself and others, if you want to work in finance, is it worth joining the management trainee program here? I'm sure you learn a ton about corporate strategy, operations, etc. They seem to enjoy being a low-key privately held company. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of finance types have no idea what McMaster-Carr is. My point was I don't think McMaster-Carr actually makes the products, they are just a wholesaler. There isn't a company that ive ever been to that didn't have stacks of their catalogs in the offices somewhere.No, I am most certainly not joking. Youre joking, right? Everyone, and I mean everyone, who works for a living and makes stuff with their hands knows mcmaster-carr. May or may not be hard to have "value-added" cost saving or revenue generating experiences. Also, upper management is extremely strict and only recently allowed people to keep water on their desks.Īempirei:Downside is, what the fuck is this company? Some privately held distributor. Pretty much everyone I talked to at McMaster is cynical about their jobs. There are entire departments set up to work around it instead of doing an overhaul, and everyone has to memorize and adapt to the excruciatingly boring minutiae of pulling data and completing basic tasks on this software.
#Management development macmaster carr software
The foundational software all departments use is an IBM program from the 1970s. It's a profitable company, but operations is shockingly inefficient. If you're looking at this job as a way to enhance your resume and job prospects, the management development program develops no skills that would be applicable to anything outside of McMaster. If someone in upper management doesn't love you, or if you just don't jive well with your manager, you're out. Management and upper management actually have secret meetings in which they rank employees (including management trainees) in relation to each other, and just fire the bottom quarter. Everyone is afraid of getting fired and turnover is ridiculous. Don't count on more than 2 weeks of training (you're lucky to get even that). The "management development program" isn't structured in any way and you're randomly moved around to different departments at the hand of some opaque authority. You're essentially the middleman in distributing industrial supplies. The work is challenging, but also excruciatingly boring and completely meaningless. McMaster-Carr has an incredibly toxic work environment.
I was recruited, worked there for 6 months, and quit before I lost my mind.
