Pros

Grainger has a lot of cash flow to support Acklands Grainger; Most work no stress; Big corporate; if you like the operational task with ok pay. You can choose here

Cons

The focus is "who you know" not "what you know"; a lot of politics; company keeps changing strategies (often conflict with each other); leaders view often myopic; function areas are silo; the processes are broken; managers who are making decisions often hot-headed without throughout preparation and analysis.

Pros

I’ve been with Acklands-Grainger for about two years and during that time the company has been through an immense amount of change as they work to improve the business. While change is never easy and can result in unforeseen challenges, the company has been committed to a consistent plan for moving forward and is starting to see results. The company makes efforts to be transparent and share updates through a few different channels. Grainger, the parent company, sees the value in the Canadian business and is investing resources to ensure the future of the business in Canada.

Cons

With change comes uncertainty but, if you’re up to the challenge, the opportunities are there.
