      For the ones that are overworked and undercompensated...

      Pros

      The best part of Grainger is far and away work hours and the profit sharing plan. If not for these two pro's many would not put up with the new structure and philosophy.

      Cons

      Employee surveys have revealed widespread dissatification with the company strategy, pay scale, and the way in which advancement takes place. Grainger's way of addressing the problems was to send out documentation showing how much they contribute to you: insurrance contributions, pay, profit sharing etc... Constant unattainable sales goals= new ways of paying less money to those that make the company profitable.

      Pros

      Grainger provides great benefits for their employees. Profit sharing, competitive salaries, great benefits, etc. It's a fun place to work and we're giving a lot of freedom.

      Cons

      Too many corporate directives recently. It's becoming to become a hassle balancing what they want us to do and what we need to do to make money.

      Grainger is a wonderful place to work as evidenced by it's highly tenured staff.

      Pros

      The company is growing and has opportunity around the country. Corporate is in Chicago, but their are positions in sales, and supply chain just about anywhere you want to live in the U.S. There are growing opportunities internationally as well.

      Cons

      There are times where existing staff can block other highly talented people from moving because they are not going anywhere. The company is addressing that by identifying and publishing additional career paths for multiple positions.
