Graybar reviews

Overall compensation is not market competitive. New hires are not accepted well by seasoned branch employees. There are obvious differences in philosophies and significant "generation gaps" between the new hires and "old school" employees. Employment with Graybar was once considered a long term career opportunity; Simply go to any branch and one can find numerous staff who have been employed for 20-30years. In general, change is not handled well and there is increasing tension between Electrical and Data-Telcom Sales teams. There was little communication between the competing sales divisions.

As a reletively recent entry into the Canadian electrical distributor market, Graybar tends to demonstrates a lack of focus as it tries to define its market approach. Graybar's employees and managers lack training and experience - even those with seveal years of service with the company or within the industry with other employers
