Pros

You do meet some great people that truly can use your products and help and at one time I was proud to work at Grainger.

Cons

The company has become greedy and had lost their way. They give their sales force a 20-30 percent goal increase and create an impossible way to make money. The account Manager job cannot be viewed as a career because out of the 20 people that i got hired with, 16 were gone within 18 months. I lasted 23 months before i couldn't take the stress anymore. And if you try to talk to your manager about the issues, they consider you a problem and have no problem letting you because they are an "At will" company and can let you go with no reason. Seen that done many times during my time there. I would never recommended working for Grainger unless you are OK looking for a new job within 2 years if your lucky
