Pros

Grainger pays well and has allowed me to work fully remote, though the majority of the company have hybrid positions. I have had a great experience with my colleagues and generally value leadership. Grainger is an inclusive workplace, with a lot of groups to join supporting all different walks of life. Nearly all of my bosses have been supportive and understanding people who value and respect me.

Cons

Working fully remote is not a typical option, most people have to come into the office 3 days/week. While moving to other positions in the company is encouraged and managers are supportive of you growth and development, it can sometimes feel more of a political play to get a new role rather than strictly based on the interview or your goals with the company. I only recently was eligible for an annual cash bonus after nearly 5 years. When I started I received a stock payout bonus but that was eliminated pretty soon after I started.
