Pros

There is an opportunity to transition into other work environments if you want to experience a job change.

Cons

With the inability to hunt and add more business, Grainger rolls out un-realistic and inconsistent semi annual sales goals of 12 - 16% growth over prior year. Additionally inexperienced DSM's with questionable ethics and inconsistent standards compounds an employee’s frustration to understand expectations. Favoritism is a concern.
