Business Outlook
Pros
Large, professional corporation, decent benefits, still some good people to work with.
Cons
Change and layoffs over the past 2 years have created a toxic environment. Those remaining must be ‘yes men’ and not voice any dissatisfaction. Let go some good people, particularly excellent sales managers - those who remain and are promoted are excellent at the internal political game, not necessarily at people leadership. High stress environment, may improve in future but company will be much smaller, so very limited options for advancement. Constant reductions in benefits for sellers over the past 2 years; Grainger parent clearly does not value these positions.
