Pros

Graybar has a full line of products to offer and is very concerned about excellent customer service.

Cons

To me, it seemed like a very somber place to work. I would walk in every morning, upbeat and cheerful, saying good morning, etc. Unfortunately, however, it was always "crickets." No response - seems like a negative atmosphere, like an under current of anger. Maybe it was my approach - not sure about that - but, it seemed like it was very difficult to "break in." There were lots of folks who got along with each other - but, again, it was difficult for me. Take this into consideration when you evaluate working here. It's my view - and I was fired.

Pros

Benefits, huge product offering, millions of dollars of inventory, tools needed to perform job, ongoing training.

Cons

Not always enough resources to service customer properly. Never wise to promote an individual to a position of management simply because he/she excels in current position.
