      Sales associate

      Pros

      The only thing that is left is Profit Sharing

      Cons

      They don't care about the stores/counters anymore, we have lines of people but no employee's to help them. All the old time outside sales people have left, We even lost a few great managers because they were tired of playing the Grainger game. We have lost many internal employees, but that is kept quiet and they are not replaced. Everything is a secret, but employee's find out other ways, They treat up like we are stupid, tell us what to say and how to say it like robots.

      Really liked Grainger, Management is a different story

      Pros

      Working at Grainger was a very good experience. The sales training in DPS was in-depth and applied to real world sales. The managers in the branches were great to work with and really helped with understanding customers tendencies. Fellow Acct Mgrs were truly there to help and did everything they could to help.

      Cons

      Immediate management's only concern was to increase their own political capital to further their own rise within the company. Zero concern for the well being of the Acct Mgrs assigned to them.
