Pros

This company is incredible. The benefits, the people, the training, the career opportunities are all beyond any company I've ever looked at on this site. I absolutely love the path I'm on as a Territory Sales Representatitive and will eventually become an Account Manager and keep moving up. Grainger CARES about their employees and if you work smart and hard, you'll go far. Profit-sharing after 2 years! Medical/dental/vision & more benefits! They give you a company car/gas/insurance/tolls/etc for FREE to use for your personal use too! Base+uncapped commission pay Travel to Orlando, FL for EVERYONE EVERY YEAR for a team-building sales event. Great entry-level sales job Balance between your work and personal life is AMAZING compared to other jobs Amazing atmosphere!

Cons

Lots of on the road driving required. Not a lot of interaction face-to-face with other people from your company Requires great time-management skill Pressure to make your goal every month which could be tough depending on your territory Rejection from customers who do not want to see you when you visit Commission check doesn't arrive until the last paycheck of the following month. Paychecks delivered bi-weekly instead of weekly.

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.
