Pros

Grainger grants its reps autonomy and ownership over their sales territories. We are consistently provided with the necessary resources to exceed sales targets. Great company to work for.

Cons

Pathways to promotion are sometimes arbitrary and unclear. The compensation for this position is good for reps with no experience, but after 18 to 24 months you become underpaid for the amount of work, skill, and revenue.
