Zoro Employee Perspectives

Zoro supports career growth through mentorship, sponsorship, stretch opportunities and continued learning. The company prioritizes mentorship to help employees take on new challenges, build skills and receive guidance at important career moments.

“Having both a sponsor and mentor has opened doors for me to take on stretch projects, which have pushed me beyond my comfort zone and expanded my skill set. Informally, these relationships have provided guidance, feedback and advocacy at key moments in my career.”

Janai Howard, VP of Human Resources
