Pros

Working at my current company has been a truly rewarding experience. As a Seller Support Specialist, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a dedicated team, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow both professionally and personally. The leadership—especially under Rob Rotzman and Amy White—has been supportive and empowering, fostering an environment where innovation and initiative are encouraged. I genuinely enjoy being part of a workplace that values integrity, teamwork, and continuous improvement. Every day brings new opportunities to solve problems and support our sellers, which keeps the role engaging and impactful. At the same time, I’m always looking ahead and seeking new challenges that will allow me to expand my skill set and take on greater responsibilities. I’m excited about the possibility of exploring roles that push me further and allow me to make an even bigger difference.

Cons

Remote roles have limited access to leadership and fewer networking opportunities can slow career progression compared to in-office positions. While remote work offers flexibility and autonomy, it can sometimes result in slower career progression due to reduced access to leadership, fewer networking opportunities, and less involvement in strategic initiatives.

Pros

How fortunate I am to have been part of a top 100 company in the US and also one that is known and highly respected throughout the world. Grainger has always demonstrated and supported a "work life balance" which has allowed me to grow not only as an AM, but also in my personal life as well! Though there isn't enough room and time to express all of the PRO's. I will close by saying thank you to DG and our executive group for having the vision to grow Grainger into a super company which it is today along with the sustainability to grow in the future. My thanks also to the Grainger family, their vision has come true! Sincerely, Michael Davenport Manufactuing Account Manager 1985-2025

Cons

Moving from sales into corporate operations can have its limitations and challenges!
