Pros

Employment with a (minimal) paycheck. The company is still in business for now. 20 Words is much too many for the pros section.

Cons

Minimal pay, max raises barely above inflation even at current rates, offshoring, "leaders" focusing on the wrong metrics that will keep this company in a downward spiral, employees are only a number, corrupt HR dept., drink (chug) the kool-aid, absolutely clueless about how to keep talent, benefits are being cut without abandon, offshoring again, no real accountability for managers, hard work and dedication are disregarded, etc. etc. etc. ***If you are an individual with a mental or physical disability, look elsewhere. You will never receive consideration for being differently abled. Even if you are handling the workload of two coworkers and performing close to majority of your boss's responsibilities, it will not matter. The first time you have even the smallest request of Grainger to help you manage your disability, that has started to become unmanageable due to the extra and ever increasing demands of Grainger, you will be let go. Not before your boss and HR repudiate all your efforts to job, coworkers, and company, and accuse you of not wanting to do your job.

Pros

Having worked for several other companies throughout my career, I can honestly say that Grainger provides the best employee training and development I've experienced. The amount of time, effort, and resources they invest in helping employees succeed exceeds every other company I've worked for combined. Grainger is committed to making sure everyone has the same opportunities to learn, grow, and advance. The company provides the tools, training, and support needed to build a successful career. The opportunities are there for everyone—you just need to ask questions, take initiative, and seek them out. Managers and teammates are supportive, and the overall culture encourages continuous learning and personal growth. In addition to the excellent training, Grainger offers a positive work environment, strong benefits, and a culture built on teamwork, safety, and customer service.

Cons

As with any large organization, some processes can take time due to multiple levels of approval. Workloads can also be demanding during busy periods, but the support from coworkers and leadership helps make those times manageable.
