Pros
HR is very helpful and professional. 50% of coworkers are great people. Rate of pay is better than most jobs in the area. Excellent benefits and incentives. Paid time off and benefits kick in immediately. Smoke breaks every 10 minutes if you're a smoker. Everyone tries to help out when needed (most of the time)
Cons
Health & Safety is not enforced or taken seriously, accidents waiting to happen. %50 of coworkers are rude, use offensive profanities and unprofessional. Hard work is not often recognized by upper management. Very unorganized warehouse, workload seems to pile up with no end in sight. Items that are left to receive after deliveries are sometimes left for a week before you have time to get to them. Understaffed, when somebody calls in sick or has a week off you're on your own! Expectations are not realistic. Not able to speak up about issues out of fear they will assume you can't do your job. Each branch is likely different from one to the other to work at.

Pros
Very good retirement, profit sharing and stock purchase program. The people that you work with are generally great team members and nice to work with. Graybar offers good products and services to customers.
Cons
Graybar is very much like high school, the popular people get promotions and pay raises over better qualified team members all too frequently. Too many people do their job and nothing more. The sales force has short tenure because they constantly have to fight the Graybar system to service their customer's. Morale is low becuase the staff feel overworked and under valued.
