      Frustration for anyone who strives to aspire beyond the corporate culture of mediocrity

      Pros

      Nice market niche for what they do. Some people actually care that their day to day work matters to the broader team.

      Cons

      Questionable management ethics. Mediocrity is the "over achieving target" for majority of management and company culture. Company arrogance: if it's not invented at Grainger or hasn't been done before at Grainger, it doesn't exist. If you have the capability to recognize that the king has no clothes on and refuse to tell anyone that the the king has no clothes on, even though everyone can see that he doesn't, you will do fine in the company culture.

      Grainger expects more revenue generation each month with no additional compensation provided for reaching the new levels

      Pros

      Grainger does business with customer very fairly. They carry a breadth of products to meet the every changing customer demand monthly.

      Cons

      Cares about the revenue generation and not the employee welfare. Each month our goals increase some months over 20K more than prior and your left with no reason why and compensation is the same whether your revenue goal is 15K or 100K.
