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.

This warehouse is underground and hours are 10:30-7:30... hard to go back to school with these hours.
