Pros

Large corporation benefits, stability. They have a gorgeous corporate headquarters with a stream and waterfall in it. Nice cafeteria. Cubicle country though, only officers of the company have offices.

Cons

HIGHLY POLITICAL. Watch your backside there, trust few people, be prepared to be a brown noser to get to the top. Things are shaken up there so frequently that people have a tendency to stay scared in their positions.

Pros

I feel one of the best reasons is that Grainger has been so stable in its approximately 80 history. It has been fair to its Branch Employees and promoted those that want to grow and are willing to work for that growth.

Cons

Grainger is slow to change. It reacts too slowly to what competitors are doing. There at times is a disconnect between Corporate employees and what is really happening in the field.

Pros

The compensation and benefits are exceptional , even for part time employees. Hours are not so bad. Co-workers are fun and helpfui.

Cons

The company as a whole needs to listen more to its employees and customers!! There have a been a lot of changes lately that have had a negative impact on both. Staffing is not done well. You should not have to feel rushed everyday to get your task completed. Your made to feel that quantity is more important than quality!!
