Pros

Great training and if/when you perform, you are given a fair opportunity to excel. Supportive leadership open to ideas and getting better.

Cons

Believes if you have not managed at Grainger, you haven't manager. We hire great external leaders as individual contributors then make them take years to prove themselves worth of leading a team. The saying is, if you haven't managed at Grainger you haven't managed.

Pros

Pay was really good for where I lived. I met a lot of nice people while working there. The work was pretty easy to do. Profit sharing for retirement is really nice.

Cons

Very monotonous work. same thing everyday unless you were one of the cool kids they would let you do different stuff. management became very greedy and started to find ways to let full time employees go so they could hire temp contractors.
