Graybar reviews

Don’t get tricked by the talk of upward mobility. There is a lot of room for that, but you will need to be willing to relocate every time you want to advance. The biggest flaw (for sales and support staff) is the new initiative for sales people to do more with less. I was down to 6 accounts and had less than half the staff I needed to support my customers. 12-15 hour days just to maintain current business. Upper management knows, but they don’t want to hire support staff because they would have to pay them an non exempt salary, while sales people and managers work as exempt, so work the exempt as dogs and don’t provide support was the name of the game. This is country wide, so just don’t work here. The support staff felt so over worked and over whelmed, 90% were looking for another job when I left. Again, just don’t consider this place. They only hire people fresh out of college. And the turn over rate is mind blowing. Our office was around 20 people. Since I started, over 40 people have came and gone, mostly lasting only a few months.... it’s horrendous. DONT WORK HERE IN ANY ASPECT. Not even to get your feet wet. Also, pay is horrible. They try to hide behind the benefits, but comp is paying almost double.

Workers opporate forklifts while under the influence of drugs and or alcohol. Racist comments are made with little or no investigation by HR. Very few of the many sexual harrasers have been terminated. No seniority based promotion system. Minorities deemed unqualified for higher pay and positions inspire of qualifications.
