Pros

Great benefits, decent pay, interesting industry, phenomenal networking opportunities, willing to train new hires. Friendly people to work with. Best in the industry. Overall I recommend Graybar especially to young professionals looking to start a career in sales, customer service and supply chain management.

Cons

Your experience depends almost entirely on your manager. Does not use the products they sell (I.e. sells LED lights but has old fluorescents in offices). Typical office politics apply here. Change is very slow (and change is important to stay alive in most industries).

Pros

Stock sharing, Profit sharing

Cons

Management won't listen to new ideas. Feels like you have to be in the managements inner circle in order to move up. Pays below market value
