      Pay Is Solid. Benefits Are Good, Training And Work Environment Was Abysmal

      Pros

      Pay was solid, great benefits and pto

      Cons

      Terrible training, toxic work environment, lack of leadership. Lack of communication and the HR department was nonexistent, when contacted it was rare if they knew the answer or even replied to you. Overall on paper it looks like a good company. The company has the worse turn over in their industry

      Pros

      Graybar has a good 401(k) plan, that includes profit sharing bonuses paid out yearly. They also offer stock purchasing plan, where you are allotted X number of shares to buy (Always $20) at the end of the year and given quarterly payouts on a per share basis. 3 weeks of paid vacation time is also very nice.

      Cons

      The pay is just simply not enough at Graybar. Especially for the amount of work you are tasked with doing. As a project specialist, you are tasked with entering and effectively managing the largest orders your branch receives. However, if you work in a smaller branch like mine, you will also be forced to run up to the counter to assist walk in customers, help answer any inbound calls on the main line, and even run to the back to help receive in shipments. It becomes impossible to do your job, and creates levels of stress that just isn't worth the pittance Graybar is willing to pay you.
