Pros

There are great people who work at Grainger, good benefits, and good options for stocks.

Cons

It's difficult to advance with Grainger from middle management...if you're looking to rise to the top or if you see a position that you want to transfer to, the politics of doing so take over the process. This employer looks less for fitting skills and talent to position than to fitting positions to who the leadership wants to promote based on friendship.

Pros

-Good starting hourly pay -hard to beat benefits (most are from day 1, too) -room to grow -rare values for a company this size -high retention rate (most people I've met have been with Grainger over 10 years, many over 20). -stable/responsible financially -great co-workers (some of the happiest people I've worked with) -weekends off -great PTO policy -easy to join in with top notch training -this employer's actions demonstrate its cares about employees and customers

Cons

-I work at a top performing branch that has great leadership. Only thing I can think of is not the company's fault. But I can't go by my bank unless I request time off.
