      Pros

      It's a great company, and they've been in business for over 75 years. The leader in the Industry. I would not stay in this field and work for any of Grainger's competitors, as I wouldn't want to go up against such a great corporation.

      Cons

      Grainger should listen closely to their sales force when determining goals. They sometimes set them so high, it's impossible and unrealistic to acheive.

      Cons

      Long hours. Poor communication at times from higher management. Poor moral among the workers in certain organizations of the company. Health care provider used by the company is atrocious.

      Pros

      Profit sharing and work life balance. No matter how high or low you are within the organization the company rewards employees for longevity by providing a profit sharing plan. Last few years for employees of 5 or more years the contributions have been around 20%! The company has been around for almost 80 years and has never lost money!

      Cons

      Large matrixed company, it's bureacratic when something needs to be accomplished. If you are the type of person that is more entrepreneurial this is probably not the company for you. However, if you can work with multiple departments and people this is a company that will reward you.
