Good money and benefits, great opportunity for advancement.

Cons

After 30 years of dedicated service to McLane I was told my position would be eliminated. I was let go with a very small severance package and have endured many financial hardships since. McLane does not appreciate its employees or the faithful and dedicated service they have given.

Advice to Senior Management

Care more about your employees. They have feelings and needs also.

Pros

Company stability
401k returns are great
Good annual bonus
Immediate teammates were great to work with. They provided the support and encouragement that management didn't provide.

Cons

Zero accountability in terms of employee performance
Uneven management: some managers micro-manage, others do relatively nothing
Structure of business units encourages short-sighted decision making in terms of IT infrastructure
Negative employee reviews and complaints are not addressed in a satisfactory matter

Pros

They promote from within and pay OK. Many divisions across the country where you can transfer to and work. Prefer for you to have a college degree for advanced promotion, and accepts degrees from diploma mills and online colleges.

Cons

Long hours, little to no recognition for salaried employees. Employees are treated differently depending on gender and race. Little to no consistency in following company policy. Add technology for the sake of technology, little testing or support. Upper management can sometimes play favorites.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't forget to thank salaried employees, stop assuming that money is enough. Do not allow rampant favoritism. Be consistent when following company policy

Pros

This is mostly a great place to work. All of my bosses have been great. Coworkers are great and it is overall a fun place to work. Fantastic benefits.

Cons

Pay is horrible and raises are even worse. They only give two weeks of vacation until your seven year!
