Pros

Great training. Great team. Decent pay

Cons

Path for promotional opportunities is based on archaic hierarchy. Let too many good people go because they don't want to take the steps Grainger has laid out from many years back.

Great Company to Work For!

Business Outlook

Pros

The leadership of this company is outstanding. It was evident at the start of the turnaround of the Canadian business and further evidenced throughout the last few years of Covid and major world events. They live and breathe their core principles. They are transparent, inclusive and truly value all of their people. Some pros: Strong team member focus Competitive salary plus bonuses Good work life balance Great culture Opportunities to learn and advance Diversity and Inclusion Travel (if you enjoy that)

Cons

A few things to know: Employees contribute to benefits This catches some people off guard, especially in Canada, where benefits are often included at no extra cost. This cost is fairly low but there are some fees to cover. Vacation time is 3 weeks to start for all employees - no exceptions. This can be a barrier for anyone that's been in the workforce a long time and may be used to more time than this. Additional days start after 5 years.
