Pros

Nice people, so many people running around easy to take off to go on other job interviews, SAP, good company if you want to move around the country every 3-5 years

Cons

Limited responsibility and opportunity to make decisions, Purchasing, Accounting, and Collections HQ in St. Louis is like working for for three different companies, Only way to move up within department is to relocate, Apply out of your department gets you a backroom meeting with the Director of you department wondering why you would want a different role (one hint $), granted it was entry level but very little challenge day to day, pay was so low I left before I could get moved up in St. Louis so I never saw the profit sharing plan, trainer said we were eligible for a 3% pay increase annually in first week, I found a job that pays 30% more after being with Graybar for less than a year,
