Pros

Stability, along with a strongly branded name and recognition. The company provides essential goods and services and partners with customers to be solution experts. A true trusted partner. There is value walking in the door.

Cons

You will never maximize your true selling or earnings potential. The company is not designed to pay bonuses or commission. They are capped and extremely unattainable after a good year. Base salary is the lowest in the industry, along with no perks. Great job for a new sales person or someone looking for easy street. Management fairs much better, but advancement is extremely limited to its “Grainger” network...good ole boy culture.

Pros

Having worked for several other companies throughout my career, I can honestly say that Grainger provides the best employee training and development I've experienced. The amount of time, effort, and resources they invest in helping employees succeed exceeds every other company I've worked for combined. Grainger is committed to making sure everyone has the same opportunities to learn, grow, and advance. The company provides the tools, training, and support needed to build a successful career. The opportunities are there for everyone—you just need to ask questions, take initiative, and seek them out. Managers and teammates are supportive, and the overall culture encourages continuous learning and personal growth. In addition to the excellent training, Grainger offers a positive work environment, strong benefits, and a culture built on teamwork, safety, and customer service.

Cons

As with any large organization, some processes can take time due to multiple levels of approval. Workloads can also be demanding during busy periods, but the support from coworkers and leadership helps make those times manageable.
