Pros

Grainger has an outstanding sales training program that equips you to be successful in outside or inside sales. They truly take care of their employees. If you're looking for a company to marry, it is definitely the one because of the profit sharing account that grows to be something spectacular by retirement. There is so much room for growth with this company. Promotions are not based on tenure. They are based on hard work and the ability to perform and get the job done. For this to be a fortune 500 company, upper level management is so reachable. I met the CEO 3 months into the job.

Cons

For me I don't really have any cons, but for others that I know who work for the company their cons lay with their management and the team they are on. It's very important to have a very supportive team that communicate, if not daily, at least every other day. Also, your manager it's important that you have a good relationship with your manager, who should be constantly helping you to evaluate yourself so that you cna continue to grow in your current role.

Pros

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Cons

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
