Pros

You will meet some really young motivating professionals with great coaching skills. It's hit or miss on who will contribute to your growth. But if they see something in you they will invest in your growth within the company.

Cons

If you're not in the in crowd they will find any way or reason to push you out. A lot of the Senior management are given a lot of power. I've seen a lot of this power be abused in the form of bullying, sexual harassment and intimidation. If your not willing to be biased and grimy you will be out! You see people who call themselves Christian participate in unethical behavior. Not everyone is bad, but a lot of the senior leadership team members abuse their power and fraternize with their team.

Pros

Great company to move up/around in. They have a ton of support although some of that support better than others. Definitely recommend joining the Grainger Team. Great for new and tenured sales people.

Cons

As you move up in the company it is political on if you get the role.

Pros

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Cons

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
