Pros

Great company, excellent benefits and very good environment (domestic department). Company develop programs for the employees to learn and prepare to offer excellent customer service.

Cons

International department within the company is the worse to work for, extremely bad support from Human resource towards the employees, if you are very good friend, go out to drink and have fun with your boss you will succeed, if you don't, forget about it. High level management never find out about situations that occur in operations department unless affect sales. Human resource personnel pay attention to gossip and lies without investigate. Bosses and employees have love relations. No call monitor, employees used company time to navigate the internet, personal calls, plan vacations and spend 2 hours at lunch (particularly Latin America Sales department). And a lot more.

Pros

Grainger is a great place to work. Great benefits. They utilize IT as a strategic weapon to imbed themselves with their customers. They will invest in you if you show the appetite and willingness to learn.

Cons

Some leadership ego's are a little overboard, where they struggle if they are not the smartest person in the room. There is a passive aggressive conservative undertone that makes driving change difficult in the organization.
