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

Great people with a true focus on career development and advancement; The most training and professional development opportunities I've ever heard of

Cons

Most people have only ever worked at Grainger or have worked at Grainger for 20+ years so have never really been in the "real world" This is the first time the business has faced any sort of struggle and people have no idea how to adapt
