Great Place To Work!

Pros

I've worked at Grainger over 12 years and think it's a great place to work. I've been treated very fairly by my superiors and beyond. The company recognizes hard work and a job well done. The benefits are great, and every manager I've ever had has been extremely flexible with any work/life issues I've had.

Cons

Sometimes Grainger is slow to change, although that culture is being changed recently. There is a LOT of layers to wade through to get projects done sometimes, and getting approvals sometimes takes a LONG time.

Pros

Not very stressful, but the pay reflects that. This would be a good job and company to ride out for a career if you like work/life balance. Good benefits. Nice facilities. Easy job.

Cons

Pay is mid or low tier. You wont be working with the best and the brightest. VERY woke. If you like having diversity, LGBTQ, womens empowerment, and things like this being shoved down your throat, you will LOVE this place!
