Pros

Good stepping stone company for a recent college graduate. Very competitive salary and 18 days PTO/year starting for salaried positions. Also, most departments are open to some sort of work-from-home and they do have a downtown office in Chicago above Ogilvie in addition to the Lake Forest corporate campus.

Cons

High turnover in corporate office and incredibly high turnover in distribution network. Recently poor financial performance from pricing issues has resulted in a general decline in morale across the company.

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.
