Vantaggi

Buy and hold on to as much company stock as you can. Also invest as much into the retirement plan as you can as early as possible. The salaries may be low, but retirement is the well worth it if you make it that far. The biggest pro, though, are the people that make the company run. I'm not talking about the people at Corporate or even branch management. I'm talking about the sales reps, customer service, counter, warehouse. The people that make the money. Without them, corporate wouldn't have those HUGE ridiculous salaries,

Svantaggi

Management gets bonuses/raises, but you won't. You'll be lucky to retire from the company, even if you're considered a "rising star". You'll disagree with the wrong manager one day and lose your career. Very, very low salaries. Steer clear if at all possible. Much better opportunities elsewhere,

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.
