      They treat their employees and contractors well. Highly recommended.

      Pros

      I worked here as a contractor for 8 months in 2010. They are good to their contractors, paying well and being very flexible with work hours and time off. Grainger won a Chicago "Best Places to Work" award while I was here, and I can see why. I have never seen such happy employees at any company I have worked for. I would absolutely work for them again.

      Cons

      Long commute from the city. But they do provide a free shuttle from the Metra.

      Pros

      The pay is fair. The work is not hard for the most part

      Cons

      Comunication from top down could be better. The people at the top are not aware of what the customer facing employees do.

      2011 watch out... 70 cents on the dollar is what you'll get credit for towards your goal.

      Pros

      Stability.... if you're not on their radar you should be o.k. benifits are nice work environment is fun co workers look out for each other

      Cons

      constantly changing pay scale... You don't know what your goals are until you're 1 or 2 months into the year. They now have 2 goals years.... Jan-June and July- Dec. That way they can regulate how much money you make.........If you had a good year (6months) chances are you won't have a good 2nd 1/2..... And this pattern will continue
