Vantaggi

There are opportunities for profit sharing, stocks and they offer great benefits. However, you’ll never make enough money to take part in any of that and unless you stay for several years it won’t matter. Additionally, if you live extremely frugally and your only hobby is work then you may make enough to pay for gas and possibly two meals a day working here. But you’ll never be able to use the benefits such as the vacation time which managers are discouraged from letting their employees fully utilize since it doesn’t pay out and doesn’t roll over. Middle and lower management are so stressed keeping up with needless processes and explaining themselves that their teams are largely left undirected and with an even greater burden of work (even though they were understaffed to begin with). All of this is to cut expenses as much as possible and increase the dividend on the stocks that you’ll never be able to afford anyway. Oh and so you can pay the CEO 2 million a year even though she sits on the board of several other companies.

Svantaggi

Pretty much what I listed above. To reiterate the pros are theoretical and very few employees will ever actually realize them.

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.
