Pros
Benefits (tuition reimbursement especially) and pay are generous. There are some really nice people who work here as well.
Cons
Coming out of college , McMaster offers unparalleled pay and benefits. You would do well to build a nest egg, get a degree, and leave. It has been nothing short of extremely disheartening to watch the ways that coworkers have been treated and to hear horror stories that seem too crazy to be true until you realize that awful scenarios are very common. The elitist hiring practices for management and Systems creates a toxic environment where management knows nothing about the work they are supposed to oversee and many have an inferiority complex about what peers get to experience in the world outside of McMaster. At first it seems promising that people from great schools see this as a worthy place to spend their careers . In reality the turnover rate is so high and the longer you stay at McMaster the harder it becomes to leave. The technology is dated , the internal processes are unique at best, and the transferrable skills dwindle with every passing year. You have people who have hopped from warehouse management to recruiting to sales whereas their peers in the industry have been gaining depth and experience. It took me a while to realize not every company was this way as it’s my first job. This is not normal. I hope anyone else who also stalks Glassdoor to make sure they aren’t crazy can get out of here soon. If you are marginalized in any way, tread lightly.
