Grainger reviews

Many customers have fire drills where they need the product yesterday…some tend to think it’s always your fault…this can be stressful

Grainger used to be a great company to work for but for the last 4 years things have really taken a turn. Thru have basically cut down as many jobs as they can and just overload people plates with work for not very great pay. They also are going to far into the equal race movement and denying white very qualified people jobs purely based on their skin tone. I understand hiring all races of people for sure but I don't agree with denying a white person a job of they are the most qualified for it the job and it's happening more and more at Grainger which to me is still racist. There needs to be a middle ground there. I've had to take on the job of 2 people and didn't get paid anything additional to do it and I'm not the only one at this company that complains of these things. So many work so hard to try to progress themselves but often times get nowhere because they don't "know the right people" again I understand the idea of networking but at Grainger it is getting a bit to clicky in the sense that no matter how much you develop yourself you won't get the job over someone else who simply "was in good with the right person " I understand many fortune 500 companies can have this but I have experienced Grainger to be much different in the past and so have many others. Grainger overworks employees and under pays them so that they can come out "making money" and basically only benefiting board members. These days I would not recommend grainger as a place to work that has a positive moral nor a place that cares about its employees. Basically all the things they try to advertise about themselves caring about employees is just to "check a box" they ultimately don't care or at least the way they work and pay employees is not shown. Also they haven't provided a cost of living raise in years.
