Pros

In my role, I can free wheel it Easy to bounce around if you want

Cons

Grainger is focusing more on stockholders and less on employees. There is a downward trend in employee treatment since 2015. Technology is the worst I've ever worked with. Producers at the company are treated terribly but Leaders have 0 accountability and make terrible, inconsistent decisions They don't care about employee retention if you're a current employee and apply internally, be prepared to be offered $20,000 less than base pay Senior leadership is all about themselves and it becomes obvious fairly quickly. The trend is of a company that will be eliminating and outsourcing jobs (a tactic they've used historically)

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.
