Pros

- Large organization (good I suppose if you want to experience navigating through the bureaucracies of a big company) - Modest paycheque, some benefits

Cons

- Cut backs each year (job losses) - Lots of middle management/corporate types (empty suits good at corporate cliches & booking meetings about nothing) - HR is often over-active, attempting to provide insights with no real understanding of the business - An empty, soul-sucking corporate culture attempting to make employees feel like they count when in reality it is the complete opposite (just a number). It's the worst

Pros

Grainger Canada really invests in their sales force. I've been with Grainger for 5 years now and have had very extensive ongoing sales training where we spend time out of market improving ourselves as sales people in training. I have been am given the tools and support I need to be successful, make money and to keep my customers happy.

Cons

There really are no cons - if you do your job and apply the methodologies learned in training you will be successful and will make money. The opportunities for growth are endless.
