Pros

none, don't waste your time trying to apply here

Cons

- Micromanagement in the Finance dept. They don't give proper training to new managers and then those new managers end up managing 5-6 people on the team with no experience and eventually micromanaging everything. They try to squeeze everything out of you and expect you to go above and beyond like you're in the leadership team. - The company changes managers, VPs and Directors like clothes. I've had 2 VP changes, 2 Director changes, and a 2 manager changes in the time I've been here. With these changes, they have different directions of where they want to take the company, and the work gets loaded into the analyst. - The work feels so boring and you feel so stagnant. You want to question what you're doing with your life. Grainger is not what it used to be, because they are facing challenges

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.
