It’s warehouse

Pros

Looking to see if the benefits are worth it

Cons

No A/C Compensation isn’t worth the work load as a picker or a wire cutter. Seems like a .50 year raise type of place and that’s with superb performance.

Thanks for leaving a review. We do our best to offer best-in-class benefits to our employees, including 401(k) matching, profit sharing, employee ownership, comprehensive health plans, paid life and disability insurance, paid time off, tuition reimbursement, and more. We understand that working a warehouse role away from a computer can make it harder to stay informed with company news and information, and we are always looking for ways to do better. If you have any suggestions we welcome them. You can suggest ideas using the NEXT Innovation platform on portal or feel free to reach out to us at reviewfeedback@graybar.com

Pros

Great long term retirement benefits. Employee owned, stock program, dividends, profit sharing. Great people. Great managers.

Cons

Lower pay. Difficult to level up the way it’s structured. You can very easily get stuck in a low paying position without a lifeline to get out, especially if you are good at what you do and needed in that position. Right place right time is more important than ever. Lower end of pay scale made up for with long term retirement benefits, lack of operations/customer service/inside support for outside sales reps. As an outside sales rep I spend my days at my desk entering orders and quotes all day. Wasn’t always like this.

Pros

Not much to say about pros I guess the only thing I can say is the non-managerial coworkers are nice.

Cons

There’s so many things wrong with Graybar Raleigh I’m not even sure where to start. Management is horrible I can’t stress that enough. The training is nonexistent I know the company is going to come back and say that they is a training period but it’s a lie, they have a supervisor who does everything there and teaches you but while she’s sitting with you “teaching” she’s pulled in 55 different directions So you’re not learning much and when you make a mistake down the road she swears she taught you that particular something although I’m not sure how she remembers she did when she’s being pulled in 55 directions. So many people left there that I had to do the job of five people and promises were made about raises and promotions and then when that time came they didn’t fulfill their part of the deal, this place is the most unethical place I have ever worked at in my life. The customer service team there is so talented and dedicated but aren’t utilized (or respected) to their capacity due to the customer service managers incompetencies. They have to wear so many hats there ! They have to fill in on the counter whenever the counter people are on vacation, out sick or at lunch. They have to be the receptionist so the phone rang all day long so you were interrupted all day long. Lot of work with VERY little pay! All in all it’s about how much money the company can make for the company and not for the little guy!!
