      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!!

      Pros

      It's a steady job with great benefits that multiply over time. The job is somewhat recession proof, as there is always a need for maintenance items at the very least. There are a wide variety of diffferent jobs as Grainger has warehouses, distribution centers, and call centers nationwide. The plum assignments are, for the most part, located at the headquarters.

      Cons

      The usual office politics do not always reward merit, and the overall value of the company can be overshadowed by an uninspired direct manager. Also, while they will pay for education in business fields, a degree is not always rewarded internally. It is strange to watch MBA's doing customer service work.

      Pros

      It's a great company, and they've been in business for over 75 years. The leader in the Industry. I would not stay in this field and work for any of Grainger's competitors, as I wouldn't want to go up against such a great corporation.

      Cons

      Grainger should listen closely to their sales force when determining goals. They sometimes set them so high, it's impossible and unrealistic to acheive.
