      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Grainger in Jun 2016

      Interview

      Good process. Scheduling of the interview was well organized and flexible. The point of contact provided good information on how to drive to the interview and where to park. Upon arrival the experience was good but the interviews seemed to be strictly by the "book". The interview was not personalized enough but still a positive experience.

      Territory Sales Representative Interview

      Dec 13, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Beaumont, TX
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Grainger (Beaumont, TX) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter over the phone and she explained the roles of the position and salary and such. Asked me if I was interested in what the job description entailed. So we scheduled a phone interview about a few days later. Basically, went like any other interview. History and background questions and then the star format of questions. I have no other experience in sales so those questions proved to be difficult.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      When was a time that you failed at something and what was your reaction and result?
