Pros

Great profit sharing program match!

Cons

Goals change 2x per year and your opportunity to make above the $24,400 are slim! Make sure the recruiter you interview with fully understands the commission structure and can quantify where she is getting her figures. Chances are if you do well in the 1st half of the year your gaol will increase the 2nd half to make it almost unattainable. An average increase can range fom 12%-30% above your LY numbers.

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.
