Pros

- Grainger offers great benefits, even to new hires! - They are accommodating to your schedule, whether it is for personal or academic reasons. They will work with you to ensure they can maintain their professional relationship with you, and I appreciate that. - Grainger offers and hosts several opportunities for employees to get together with their friends and families to participate in events that are meaningful and important! If you want to truly feel like your workplace cares for you and puts in the effort, they do! - The people you will work with are welcoming and most importantly, humble. Everyone is always willing to offer helping hands when needed and appreciate every persons input and criticisms. - There are also many opportunities for employees to receive responsibilities that give them proper experience to help them in their career growth! There are many employees who have promoted from within the company based on their merit, and that is awesome! - In all my years being in the workforce, I have never worked in a place where even the senior management knew my name, and yet they do!

Cons

- Communication could be more streamlined, it sometimes feels like you cannot necessarily contact the correct person to address certain issues directly. - Turnover can be quite common, but I believe it is because of the workload. People do not realize what they are getting themselves into when they apply here. I for one, enjoy the work as it keeps me busy constantly throughout the day and I never feel any sense of boredom.

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.
