Pros

Grainger has an outstanding sales training program that equips you to be successful in outside or inside sales. They truly take care of their employees. If you're looking for a company to marry, it is definitely the one because of the profit sharing account that grows to be something spectacular by retirement. There is so much room for growth with this company. Promotions are not based on tenure. They are based on hard work and the ability to perform and get the job done. For this to be a fortune 500 company, upper level management is so reachable. I met the CEO 3 months into the job.

Cons

For me I don't really have any cons, but for others that I know who work for the company their cons lay with their management and the team they are on. It's very important to have a very supportive team that communicate, if not daily, at least every other day. Also, your manager it's important that you have a good relationship with your manager, who should be constantly helping you to evaluate yourself so that you cna continue to grow in your current role.

Pros

There are some good, talented people that work at Grainger.

Cons

Grainger has failed to adapt to a changing business climate as well as new technology. Due to this, there is a work harder not smarter methodology for their sales force. They are making many changes to confront this but they're certainly playing catch-up.
