Grainger reviews

Horrible management. They like to hire friends to self promote each other. I was hired onto a team in IT (EDI) and had to teach people how to read xml, JavaScript, etc to do the job correctly. Once I taught them the manager promoted them all including the new hires and kept me at the same level when I worked there for 3 years. If you didn't know the manager outside of work or kiss their butts you would be treated horribly and be given horrible reviews which will lead to firing. I was one of the only employees with a degree and background in IT. They took what I knew and used it for their benefit without ever giving me credit. Treats individuals differently (discrimate) based on race and sex. Manager often stated she didn't care about men and would ask what we did on the job so she could explain what we as a team did. She didn't even know what we worked on. The turnover rate was roughly 160 percent in 2 and a half years. Was 50 50 with male to female now is 95 percent female as no males were given a promotion or raise. Most men are forced out. If you are female and don't buy into the B's you too will be forced out. Again, I'm only giving you my experience but can tell you I'm doing the same thing for another company making much more money and not being treated so disrespectfully.

The commission structure is not explained to you when you begin. If you overachieve one half you get paid commissions! Then your quota goes up 20 - 30%. If you don't hit goal you have to give the commissions back you were paid before! They call it "over payment." Grainger got paid but you have to "give it back"
