Pros

Principals for sure. All of the Grainger principals are things I keep with me in my personal life as well. Teamwork and support across the board with leadership, someone is always able to help or get you in the right direction. We get involved in the community locally and in all cultural communities as well. Benefits are amazing and Grainger does the best when it comes to pivoting to reflect the economy and keep their employees thriving.

Cons

Turn over is the biggest con I have experienced. Our customers deserve a constant support team and sometimes the job is not for the employee that sits in the seat. Not having a consistant team and having to adapt with the change sometimes hinders the engagement with the team if it happens too much.

Pros

Great company to move up/around in. They have a ton of support although some of that support better than others. Definitely recommend joining the Grainger Team. Great for new and tenured sales people.

Cons

As you move up in the company it is political on if you get the role.

Pros

Competitive (not top tier, but competitive) compensation and benefits. Gym onsite & decent cafeteria that's usually a little more affordable than takeout. Mostly great coworkers. Personally enjoy work-life balance. Internal mobility is there, in abundance, but it's not highly visible or equitable and you'll need your leader's blessing so hustle and get a sponsor.

Cons

Principles plastered everywhere aren't commonly demonstrated. Do the right thing? :/ Everything else is variablly dysfunctional by team or department: days in office, accountability, effort, rewards, infrastructure/tools, workload, budget. Sales-centric org where the rest of the company is 10-20 years behind most modern orgs in structure, performance management, employee experience, skills based L&D, peer recognition, continuous improvement, etc.
