      Pros

      Graybar is employee owned and they offer many benefits including stock options and profit sharing

      Cons

      The management is terrible and inconsistent between departments. In the comm/data department in Raleigh CSRs are treated as dumping grounds and are not valued and respected.

      Thanks for leaving a review. We do have a training program for new sales representatives that teaches them our sales process and provides tools and resources for their roles. This particular program has been around since 2014 and has trained well over one thousand new sales representatives. We are sorry you felt like you were not valued here. As an employee-owned company, our employees are the key to our success and we strive to create a working environment where everyone feels valued and like part of the team.

      Pros

      Unlimited career growth. Fantastic benefits. Employee-owned! Long-term view for the company and the employees.

      Cons

      It's hard! You have to be committed to success. Distribution is a tough business that is very complex and has many moving parts. You won't learn the business overnight.

      Thank you for leaving a review. Very glad to hear you are enjoying your career with Graybar! Distribution is complex: the products and suppliers, the logistics and infrastructure, technology and administration and support and sales and everything else that is required to make it work. It's also what provides such an amazing array of opportunities for our employees to learn and grow here, and even potentially change careers while at the same employer.
