Pros

The benefits are solid and Graybar is the biggest supplier in their industry.

Cons

Incredibly toxic work environment. The longer you stay there the more unpleasant stuff you will uncover. I think the fact that they have to bury the real reviews on Glassdoor with the same artificial 4-star and 5-posts dozens of times per month just to keep their ratings afloat instead of actually fixing the problems internally really speaks volumes.

Pros

Employee owned so profits are shared with both employees AND employee stock holders

Cons

Graybar is trying to keep pace with the digital transformation of our industry, But, most senior leaders lack the experience needed to execute true digital change. As a result, the company has made several costly missteps. Graybar needs more outside senior talent with a proven track record of building and deploying customer‑facing digital solutions that both simplify the customer experience and reduce Graybar internal labor. Our current AI initiatives are unlikely to deliver meaningful results because our data is too inconsistent to support AI and other inititives. Without significant changes soon, Graybar’s long‑term outlook risks mirroring companies like Blockbuster, Borders Bookstores, Sears, and JCPenney—businesses that failed to adapt when customers shifted to online purchasing instead of relying solely on brick‑and‑mortar service or phone/fax to place orders.
