Pros
20+ Year Employee. Has been fantastic to me and my family. I have had much opportunity to advance in a variety of roles. Top Brand with our customers, which makes it easy to do our jobs. Great opportunity long term, as MRO market is highly fragmented and companies like Grainger are in position to benefit on customer's efforts to consolidate.
Cons
The Grainger way is the Grainger way. Self awareness is improving at the leadership level, but they can be slow to change, and heavy handed when they do change. Company is HQ in the Midwest, so values can be out of sync with the coasts. Lack of geographic compensation differential is an example. Increasing price transparency via on line vendors is forcing pressure on Grainger's tiffany price model.
