Grainger reviews

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.

Grainger is very micro-managed. They monitor and watch every move you make and many of the tasks are mundane and unessacary. Plus it is harder to move up than they portray.
