Pros

Pay/benefits were good/better than industry standards Co-workers were great people to work with Training - Dimensions of Professional Selling sales course was an awesome course and very useful in the field

Cons

You'd better be 'up' on your political connections within the company -or- be a lucky/superstar salesperson. If not, with a change in District Sales Mgr will come a housecleaning. The 'good ol boys' network is unbelievably alive and well at Grainger. I learned too late that its more important to cultivate internal political connections than to actually do my job.
