Pros

Competitive Salary plus profit sharing, great culture, unlimited business potential, fast paced work environment

Cons

Goals change frequently and many times are out of line. Grainger is a complex company where sometimes it takes hours to get the simplest things done.

Pros

Great company, good benefits, and overall awesome people. It felt great to be part of such a recognizable and reputable company. We were well taken care of at all of the events. I had a lot of fun in my travels.

Cons

You have no time to do anything but work. There is no work-life balance, especially if you have a family. Standards are so high but the pay is not nearly enough for the amount of work you have, the pressure put on you by management and the criticism you receive by both customers and co-workers. The goals you have to reach are very skewed and almost unattainable in some territories. They do not do nearly enough to fix the issues that arise daily and throughout the entire year. Numbers are EVERYTHING. After about 8 months, I was absolutely miserable in this position.

Pros

The compensation and benefits are second to none. The work life balance that is promoted makes you feel like you can have an awesome career and still enjoy your homelife.

Cons

There are no cons in working for Grainger.
