Pros

the comradery at the Minneapolis location is amazing. I feel as though I can trust most of my coworkers. Health insurance is fairly cheap. Stock dividends are a nice addition

Cons

Graybar is still a corporation and their main goal is to raise profits. Since the corporation is so large, it takes a long time to make changes. And when changes are made, the "higher-ups" don't look to see all the areas that will be affected. I feel that this company is often reactive instead of proactive.

Pros

Employee owned so profits are shared with both employees AND employee stock holders

Cons

Graybar is trying to keep pace with the digital transformation of our industry, But, most senior leaders lack the experience needed to execute true digital change. As a result, the company has made several costly missteps. Graybar needs more outside senior talent with a proven track record of building and deploying customer‑facing digital solutions that both simplify the customer experience and reduce Graybar internal labor. Our current AI initiatives are unlikely to deliver meaningful results because our data is too inconsistent to support AI and other inititives. Without significant changes soon, Graybar’s long‑term outlook risks mirroring companies like Blockbuster, Borders Bookstores, Sears, and JCPenney—businesses that failed to adapt when customers shifted to online purchasing instead of relying solely on brick‑and‑mortar service or phone/fax to place orders.
