Vantaggi

I was part of the CommData (low voltage) team. I had great coworkers and I enjoyed the camaraderie in the office. Being an employee owned company seemed to create a certain culture where people supported one another. There were also some good perks (company car, option to buy employee stock, profit sharing).

Svantaggi

I feel the company could have done better with onboarding. I came in to the company after being in the workforce for a number of years, so I didn't learn the internal systems the way that those that had "grown up" with the company did. Additionally, I felt the pay was low given my work experience and education.

Thank you for leaving a review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your work environment and team members. We have wonderful employees and strive to make Graybar a welcoming place to work. Regarding your comments about onboarding, we are working to improve that experience now with a new onboarding solution but we do agree learning some of our systems like SAP or our products can take some time. We will continue to work on ways to make that easier.

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.
