Pros

- Pay increase every year - Quarterly bonuses based on your building’s performance - New free merch every year - Ability to grow by moving around sections or moving up - Free lunch catering during some holiday weeks or during summer - Decent benefits - They are able to put 6% of what your paycheck is worth into IRA without having to match it - Good PTO to start, accumulates every month - 6 Paid Holidays off - Good people working here

Cons

- Favoritism from supervisors based not even on work ethic - Problems don’t get solved easily even when brought up multiple times but many people - Front office acts like they’re better than you half the time - If you need to make an unplanned emergency call you could get written up - If you get hurt on the job they will try their best to place the blame on you even if you did everything correctly - Mandatory OT everyday (which could also be a good thing)

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.
