Pros

The only pro is if you are out of college and looking for experience to put on a resume. The employee stock program is decent but not worth being a slave that gets talked down to everyday.

Cons

Never felt like less of a human and more of a disposable number than when I worked at Graybar. Was paid such a low wage and constantly told how I should be lucky I even have a job despite barely affording to live. FYI your employee stock program means nothing to anyone when you pay such low wages you have to live in poverty for 30 years to make it even with it.

Pros

Graybar has exceeded my expectations for development. They offer many training opportunities. The stock options and benefits make up for lower pay. There is a focus on work life balance that is refreshing.

Cons

Can be a lot of work for the pay stressful at times but isn't every job Can get thrown into a role temporarily without having a say so.
