Pros

For customer facing positions, Grainger has probably the best benefits in the MRO industry.

Cons

Everything else. I call my department the Customer Service Coal Mine, and we're Pit Ponies. That is exactly how we're viewed by absolutely the entire company, no matter how much "Rah-Rah Customer Service(tm)" smoke they blow up our hineys. If you enter Grainger in Customer Service, you will retire from Grainger in Customer Service. You will never be allowed to leave the coal mine, and how DARE you even dream alone at night you are good enough to do so, PIT PONY!??!

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.
