Pros
W.W.Grainger has good pay for interns and helps expose them to the executives of the company. The internship program is designed to give interns a sight into how Grainger runs as a company and its core business.
Cons
The company is run too lean for employees to devote enough time to interns to give them appropriate work. Because of the time constraints on my team, I was given meaningless tasks to complete for the entire summer instead of a small-medium sized project which was boasted about during multiple rounds of interviews. Additionally, although my interviewers talked about the low power distance, I felt isolated from even my manager during my internship.
