Pros

You get paid for working. Other than that there is no reason to get a job here.

Cons

Five years ago we all loved our jobs. We felt we made contributions to the company and our success. Tenure means nothing. Since the company started 'working the numbers', it's all about making it and the people are just a number. It's very sad. We used to laugh at work and enjoy it. Not anymore. Management has NO IDEA how many people are looking for jobs. They try to use some fancy hiring and screening program and people won't stay anyway.

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.
