Grainger reviews

No room for lateral growth, since the company has become a corporation I see unfair merit increases, and budget cuts to the peons who bring in the bulk of business, benefits only reflect on the corporate managers BIG BOSSES , hiring temp phone reps before offering more hours to the part time tenured employees who actually know there job, and doing things for show on the branch and corporate level ie recognitions when higher up reps come into the office , congratulating and acknowledging workers only when your boss is there to impress....things like this are way too common . Graingers way of business is trial and error....they're business plans suck and forecasting of business volume is never accurate . They need to do better

long hours due to doing more with less but people still love what they do most of the time. work/life balance is a challenge at times.
