      Terrible Company To Work For

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The profit sharing is healthy. .

      Cons

      Micro Management. Working Nights and weekends to keep up with requirements. Highly political. No advancement. No resource support. Outrageous expectations. Top Management is out of touch and is looking to get rid of anyone that is now "making too much." This used to be a good company bu it's really gone down hill. I'm looking to get out.

      Pros

      Great pay for hourly workers Great benefits Some great managers 40 hour workweeks

      Cons

      Micromanagement at the middle-management level Always adhering to the LEAN principle, always trying to do more with less Silly "motivational" meetings every morning Very hard to make upward or lateral moves in the company Not-so-up-to-date proprietary sales technology

      Rewarding but could be better

      Pros

      Great job security, good benefits, competitive wages, tuition reimbursement. Grainger has a healthy approach about helping you further your education and have very generous profit sharing. It was recently named as one of the top 100 to work for in the US because they make a conscious effort to be flexible with employees.

      Cons

      difficult to advance career, it can be very political if you don't know people who will support you and help you move in the right direction.
