Pros

Graybar offers a wide range of sales roles that allow you to learn how the electrical distribution world works. Graybar also offers some very good benefits if you stay with the company 15+ years

Cons

Hard to build your book of business

Pros

Employee Ownership is nice but you are not vested for years. Good experience but get out and make way more money at other distributors.

Cons

Never give them notice they will walk you out that day. No raises, when I asked for one they told me I have "unlimited potential" but then only allowed me to have 30 accounts. Very little opportunity to move with in. The pay plan is terrible and not competitive at all. They are constantly looking for ways to reduce workforce and this is when they are making massive profits.
