Graybar reviews

Buy and hold on to as much company stock as you can. Also invest as much into the retirement plan as you can as early as possible. The salaries may be low, but retirement is the well worth it if you make it that far. The biggest pro, though, are the people that make the company run. I'm not talking about the people at Corporate or even branch management. I'm talking about the sales reps, customer service, counter, warehouse. The people that make the money. Without them, corporate wouldn't have those HUGE ridiculous salaries,

I applied for a warehouse position at Graybar looking for a job and a steady source of income. What I found was something profoundly different, something that would challenge my professional goals and fundamentally shift my career path. My first year on the team I learned about Graybar's customers, products, and systems. I also learned that Graybar was a Fortune 500 company with locations across the U.S. This was a surprise to me because I had never heard of the company until shortly before I applied, and to be honest it didn't feel like I was working for a 'big company'. I decided to stick around and take advantage of as many development opportunities as I could. Over the next five years, I promoted into customer service and then a management position. Along the way, my employee benefits helped me navigate the birth of my first son and also go back to college through Graybar's tuition reimbursement program. Ten years later, I am a director with a career I love, a college graduate, and I am getting ready to celebrate my 17th Graybar anniversary. What started as a job search, and a decision to take a chance on a company I didn't know, ended up changing the entire game. I'm truly grateful for that.
