Company Profile

Company Description:

At McMaster-Carr, diversity is a corporate asset.

First, there's diversity of opportunity. From the fast-paced action of the warehouse receiving area to the challenge of putting technical data into clear, benefit-oriented ad copy, we offer a variety of rewarding career paths. Our five regional branches provide roles in customer service, sales, warehouse operations, finance, and general management. Our corporate headquarters in Chicago adds information systems, purchasing, merchandising, and electronic publishing positions to the mix. It's definitely a dynamic, growing environment with nearly unlimited opportunities to excel.

Second, there's diversity of people. From actors and ballet dancers to engineers and former Marines, our people have backgrounds and interests as varied as the breadth of products in our catalog. Conversations over lunch about restoring a hundred year old home, the latest museum exhibit, or a recent performance of an opera are common. Creativity and diversity engage us as individuals and propel us as a company.

McMaster-Carr is made up of individuals who are energized by solving a broad range of problems with innovative enthusiasm. From BA's to PhD's, Liberal Arts to Engineering, and Business Management, we seek talented people in search of an environment where they will be forced to learn and think regardless of their formal training. We believe this kind of human diversity creates a rich, energetic workplace, bursting with original ideas and unwearied perspectives. It's what we feel is essential for our ongoing commitment to personal and corporate excellence.

We're always searching for new people - - those willing to share their creative suggestions and innovative solutions to meet the challenges we face. One thing you won't hear much of at McMaster-Carr is that old creativity squelcher, “we've never done it that way before.”
If this sounds like an environment in which you'd like to invest your talents, send us a resume. Whether you're fresh out of college or feeling a little stale in your current position, we'd like to hear from you. Just so you know, no matter what role you assume on the McMaster-Carr team, you'll receive outstanding benefits including profit sharing, company-paid medical (including dental, orthodontia, and vision), life insurance, and 100% tuition reimbursement.
