Vantaggi

Employee owned with stock purchase with a good return. Able to keep the stock after you retire, but not if you quit or get laid off. Profit sharing up to 15% of your salary depending if the company does good. Can transfer between branches as long as there is an opening. Availability of shipping orders close to 100% is above average. Computer system is competitive. Training classes set up through computer, which are required. Branches have training classes available within the branch at times.

Svantaggi

Local management needs to be trained on how to be managers. They need to be more pro-active and act like they are part of the branch. District management and Upper management needs to quit relying on the "numbers" more than the people. People make a branch succeed, not numbers. Pay is low, adjustments need to be addressed. This has been the situation with Graybar for a long time. The longer you stay, the harder to get a raise unless you get promoted to management. Company is too top heavy.

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.
