Pros

Great exposure to a diverse types of customers. Lots of learning about customers, product, and sales process. Graigner provides every tool or resource you need to be successful. Just need to know where to go to find it, and when to put your hand up for support

Cons

There is such a steep learning curve, and it can often times feel very overwhelming. Some times you really do feel like you have too much on your plate.. work life balance can suffer if you're not managing work load properly. After 2 years into the role, I am just now feeling compenetant and comforatable in the role with all of the processes and responsibilities. *Lazy or complacent people need not apply for this role.

Pros

Having worked for several other companies throughout my career, I can honestly say that Grainger provides the best employee training and development I've experienced. The amount of time, effort, and resources they invest in helping employees succeed exceeds every other company I've worked for combined. Grainger is committed to making sure everyone has the same opportunities to learn, grow, and advance. The company provides the tools, training, and support needed to build a successful career. The opportunities are there for everyone—you just need to ask questions, take initiative, and seek them out. Managers and teammates are supportive, and the overall culture encourages continuous learning and personal growth. In addition to the excellent training, Grainger offers a positive work environment, strong benefits, and a culture built on teamwork, safety, and customer service.

Cons

As with any large organization, some processes can take time due to multiple levels of approval. Workloads can also be demanding during busy periods, but the support from coworkers and leadership helps make those times manageable.
