      Pros

      Grainger provides great benefits for their employees. Profit sharing, competitive salaries, great benefits, etc. It's a fun place to work and we're giving a lot of freedom.

      Cons

      Too many corporate directives recently. It's becoming to become a hassle balancing what they want us to do and what we need to do to make money.

      Good and Bad

      Pros

      Great benefits and flexibility. Depending on where you are there are some really good people to work with. There are some very good managers that listen to you and offer help while others do not want to deal with those that have performance issues that should be dealt with.

      Cons

      Advancing within the company is difficult at best unless you are willing to relocate. Communication within the mass departments within the company needs to be improved so everyone knows what is going on and who actually has the authority to make the decisions and be willing to put it on paper. Management needs to be held to the same standards as the direct reports and need to be reprimanded when they don't.

      A Role of the Dice

      Pros

      Strong financials, leader in the industry and well respected organization with good benefits and profit sharing plan.

      Cons

      Disconnection between corporate and sales organizations leads to poor decisions made regarding account potential, coverage, etc. Luck of the draw regarding territory leads to even the best sales people having difficulty in consistent success.
