Pros

PTO was very flexible good work life balance Company car and gas card. Good company to start a career with. Good Culture

Cons

Most Cons are based off compensation. Salary is not very competitive. Goals are based off what your territory does not necessarily what you do. You are expected to impact about 10% of your goal and your territory is supposed to do the rest. Unfortunately you can be great at your job but if you have a bad territory you will not hit your goal. Goals can be affected drastically either good or bad by only a couple of your customers. Constant change of focus.

Inexperienced management. They always seem to hire outside for management; with no clue on mro business and Grainger internal system.
