Grainger reviews

Too focused on shareholders and competition right now. The family company that I started with does not exist anymore and its all about the bottom line

Corporate seems to be lost when it comes to vision. They throw everything at a new idea, including elaborate training, then bail on the plan as soon as it doesn't work exactly as hoped. Emails sent to all employees about record profits the previous year were followed by announcements that profit sharing would be decreased in coming years. Announcements about sponsoring a race car were followed by announcements of branch closings and work force reduction at already strained branches. Resources are thrown at the sales teams at the expense of the branch employees that are actually doing the work.
