      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

      Pros

      Grainger is light years ahead of the competition as far as their technology platform and go-to-market strategies. Senior management does a great job with communicating new strategies and expectations, as well as making a conscious effort to meet employee needs.

      Cons

      The base salary could be better. Merit increases are few and far between. With the depth of product, they tend to roll out too many initiatives at one time which pushes the Account Managers past capacity. Management is not always realistic with the work load. They place more and more on the reps administratively, but want us in the field more. It's a double edged sword.
