Pros

How fortunate I am to have been part of a top 100 company in the US and also one that is known and highly respected throughout the world. Grainger has always demonstrated and supported a "work life balance" which has allowed me to grow not only as an AM, but also in my personal life as well! Though there isn't enough room and time to express all of the PRO's. I will close by saying thank you to DG and our executive group for having the vision to grow Grainger into a super company which it is today along with the sustainability to grow in the future. My thanks also to the Grainger family, their vision has come true! Sincerely, Michael Davenport Manufactuing Account Manager 1985-2025

Cons

Moving from sales into corporate operations can have its limitations and challenges!

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.
