"As good as it gets in terms of an inclusive workplace. There are many women leaders across all functions, diversity is celebrated, work-life balance and flexible schedules abound. There is also a culture of development and career movement across the organization. Almost everyone I know has had the opportunity to change jobs/functions. Our principles and culture are top of mind and define how we work. Grainger is a gem of an employer (I say this as someone who has bounced around)."

"I have been with Grainger for 20 years and joining this company is the best decision I ever made. Not a day has gone by where I haven't felt respected and appreciated. Women are given equal opportunities for professional development with training programs, networking events, Business Resource Groups and mentorship programs.
I am proud to work at a company that recognizes the importance of work-life balance and where women are valued for their contributions. There is no glass ceiling here--you can pursue any position provided you have the ambition to do so and, along the way, you will find people who are anxious to see you succeed and will support you through your career journey.

"I feel so fortunate to work for a company who walks the walk. In my 15 years with Grainger, I've never encountered a challenge that was gender-related. Grainger also takes pay equity seriously and has processes in place to ensure that equity remains--it's part of their fabric, not a one-time exercise when the climate is right. But most of all--I think Grainger has the best culture. We hire amazing people and every leader I've had supports my development, my work-life balance, and we have a ton of fun at work. I wake up in the morning excited to come to work."

"There is a general expectation to come into the office some days but we have a hybrid environment, with flexibility around when you come into the office and which of our multiple office locations you use. No one questions if you need time out of office for appointments and personal needs. "

"Grainger is a typical "Mid-west Nice" culture, meaning everyone is positive and says the "right things" but no one is willing to take risks or advocate for another. It is a very dog eat dog culture under the surface. If you don't fit the Grainger model - you will be quickly ostracized and cannot be effective."

"The company has very few women or minorities in any senior management positions. I worked there a number of years.
The culture is one to avoid. I was unfortunately aware, firsthand, of two cases of harassment. Males in one instance forced a female colleague, while on a business trip, to visit a house of 'ill-repute'. In the other instance, a manager made overt advances to a female employee. His boss protected him.
I take the information we are sharing here very seriously, and hesitating before sharing it, but trusting its anonymity, felt compelled to share."
