Pros
Great compensation! The job is fast paced and there is always something to do. Wonderful vacation structure. Good benefits. Great schedules; Monday-Friday no weekends!
Cons
Everything you do there whether it be helping customers to receiving product has a standard work procedure that must never be deviated from. Seriously, you have to do everything a certain way or you'll be "coached". If you think that certain way is inefficient you have to fill out a form and submit it to management. Sometimes management will test you on these standard work procedures and they expect you to know terminology associated with that standard work. It was like high school all over again! It seems as though management at Grainger favors seniority. People with seniority get to go to tradeshows and they have first pick for vacations.
