Pros

I have been with Grainger since 2017, and I love it here. My managers team & department are wonderful. Grainger offers a great work life balance and honestly cares about their employees Grainger is wonderfully diverse company also very transparent with information and what may be coming in the weeks and months ahead. Grainger encourages its employees to move up or move to other departments. Once you get started here if you think another department is a better match for you then leadership encourages you and helps you to get to that goal. I would definitely recommend Grainger to anyone looking for a great career with a company that truly cares about its employees and offering great benefits.

Cons

The only con I can think of is not enough overtime, but I do understand that when it comes to overtime, we need to think about the business needs.

Pros

Great benefits package - PTO is solid.

Cons

Promotions and ratings are based more on who you know and who is the leader's favorite than it is on actual performance.

Pros

I miss working at the HQ in Lake Forest. The amenities are outstanding. Onsite fitness center, eco friendly building, great cafeteria, etc. Solid, stable company.

Cons

It's been awhile since I was there - but at the time, there was definitely a good old boys club that ran the show.
