Pros

Grainger pays competitively, the benefits are good, and it is great to work for a dominant market leader in your industry.

Cons

Advancing through the company is very political and opportunities seem to come rarely. There seems to be no focus on hiring internally and often well qualified internal candidates are passed over for seemingly under qualified external hires.

Pros

Obviously WWG understands it has a retention problem and a hostility among their work force or they wouldn't be posting "false positive" reviews here. Good! The first step is admitting there is a problem.

Cons

The people posting good reviews here are either brad new, because the talent has left and they were just recently hired, or corporate goons. There is not one person i know within the thousands of Account Managers that enjoytheir job. They are underpaid, over micro-managed, and direspected.
