Vantaggi

Company has survived for 147 years...in spite of themselves.

Svantaggi

Clueless manipulative dishonest management from top down. Flat lined earnings for years. Millions spent on failed new initiatives that are not tested properly or clearly thought out. Hiring of green employees then layoffs of hundreds of experienced employees within months. Managers that have false sense of real world because they have never worked anywhere else. Literally licked boots up the ladder. Success of Sales/Order Takers is predicated on the accounts assigned, NOT sales ability.

Vantaggi

Many opportunities to learn about distribution and management. Pto is three weeks per year plus holidays and over a s Week of sick time. If you work here longer, you can buy enough company shares to receive a sizeable dividend each year. You are allowed to buy about 5% of your salary in company shares per year and then receive usually 20% of that back per year. The profit sharing plan contributes 10% of your salary to your 401k account but you need to be vested to keep it all.

Svantaggi

You will need a second job to live. Sales reps make way more and do half the work but they report to their managers much more. If you are a CSR, sales people feel entitled to treat you however they want and their manager will back them up. You are watched by coworkers and management like a high surveillance prison especially when you're new but they will leave you alone if you're good at your job after a year or so. Graybar brags about how much revenue and profit they make but middle and upper management suck it all up leaving scraps for the workers who made it for them.
