Pros

Company car although it took about a year for them to finally find one to give me. Employee stock, however, its only good if you buy massive amounts.

Cons

Where do I start? As a sales professional, my experience at Graybar in St Louis MO was horrible. Graybar does not value its employees as human beings. My role was travel based covering the state of MO. I was expected to drive 4, 5, 6 hours to meet with a customer, and drive back home tk avoid hotel expenses. This was extremely dangerous. The compensation was laughable and the commission was even worse. Sales reps have to make Graybar about $1M in profit before they will pay out a penny. Lastly, management pulled the ultimate slap in the face to all of the sales reps and capped the uncapped commission during a record year. Absolutely disgusting and shameful behavior coming out of Graybar in STL.

Pros

Very busy, but relatively low stress. No taking work home.

Cons

Pay could be better. Flexibility with remote and hybrid work is awful. They expect you in office everyday. We work through a lot of holidays too.
