Pros

Good culture, good resources, nice building.

Cons

difficult pay structure to understand, goalposts seem to move often for sales goals, lots of movement in management hinder continuity. Entry pay is low and while bonuses are attainable, base salary has little to no movement upward in the years I've been there. Actually had a salary cut based on current market conditions and the belief in an impending recession. Very hard to understand after years of putting in sold work for them.

Pros

It's a somewhat laid back atmosphere in terms of everyone using profanity all the time and if you're cool with sexual remarks being made about you as a female then you're self esteem will be through the roof!

Cons

Never adequately staffed, management outside of the branches is incredibly disconnected and they do not trust or give any resources to the managers inside. The expectations are way higher than they should be given that the company pays well below industry averages while claiming that the benefits equate to the difference. They don't. Not when my environment is one of ridicule and disrespect. The best part of leaving Graybar but staying in the industry is finding out from customers, vendors, and ex employees that this level of toxic is company wide and not one person has had anything but warm things to say about my move. Although that defamation remark below yeah that's happening and I'm documenting it. I've got my appointment set
