Pros

Profit sharing is the strongest benefit they offer. It takes a few years to be fully vested, but it has been adding close to 20% of your salary to a retirement plan. There is no option to contribute to a traditional 401k. It is a very stable company to work for. Employees are helpful, but there are definitely some strong cliques.

Cons

The company projects a strong work/life balance, but in reality this is hardly the case. Taking time off is often met with resistance. Being a mature company, advancement in the field is rare. The company is in the process of a soft restructure in order to adapt to today's rapidly changing environment. Often times this leads to unclear job expectations.

Pros

Great work environment for those who despise spending 40 hours in a cubicle. Grainger offers plenty of opportunities for continued learning and growth.

Cons

It seems that the pay scale is way off balance.
