Pros

Employment with a (minimal) paycheck. The company is still in business for now. 20 Words is much too many for the pros section.

Cons

Minimal pay, max raises barely above inflation even at current rates, offshoring, "leaders" focusing on the wrong metrics that will keep this company in a downward spiral, employees are only a number, corrupt HR dept., drink (chug) the kool-aid, absolutely clueless about how to keep talent, benefits are being cut without abandon, offshoring again, no real accountability for managers, hard work and dedication are disregarded, etc. etc. etc. ***If you are an individual with a mental or physical disability, look elsewhere. You will never receive consideration for being differently abled. Even if you are handling the workload of two coworkers and performing close to majority of your boss's responsibilities, it will not matter. The first time you have even the smallest request of Grainger to help you manage your disability, that has started to become unmanageable due to the extra and ever increasing demands of Grainger, you will be let go. Not before your boss and HR repudiate all your efforts to job, coworkers, and company, and accuse you of not wanting to do your job.

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.
