Grainger reviews

the buddy systems has made managers out of people who couldn't flip burgers for a living. They are not connected to their bread & butter--the customers. All they want to do is find their next "opportunity" so they can continue making over 100K + a year and do no real income generating work. The commissions and bonuses that Grainger pays out to its managers and sales team is unbalanced, since none of them have to put their hands on any product. This is what will keep Grainger behind the competition in the long run.

Can no longer survive on high margins in a changing economy/ category. Amazon Business poses a threat to midsize & small customers. Gender discrimination in some parts of the organization in spite of endorsement of diversity.
