Pros

College student, was hired out of retail management, so I love this place... it’s way better. General attitude geared towards improvement Friendly coworkers and managers Mentor program Stability and consistency, expectations are made clear Some Opportunity to grow and move

Cons

Communication is an issue at times but they are aware of it and working on it. Training is also a little soft, but if you put in the effort they will be forgiving of mistakes. Some office drama, but whatever There are some bad apples, sure, but nothing that makes it a bad job.

Pros

Employee owned, in business over 100 years, decent benefits with opportunity to buy shares in company, tend to promote from within, and most employees seem to stay with Graybar for a very long time.

Cons

Unless you are in management, the incentive plans and salaries are not competitive. Base salaries are a joke compared to other opportunities in this industry. Everyone stresses the advantages of buying shares, but you have to be able to afford to do so. My salary didn't leave me with much leftover money to spend.

Thanks for leaving a review. Our sales reps earn a base salary and there are no caps on commission so their earning potential is unlimited. At Graybar we do everything we can to make sure we are in line with the market. We are sorry you felt this was not your experience.
