Pros

The pros would be the companies investment in their employees. The comradery with my fellow co-workers. Pay that is structured to effort and the ability to learn a business that is vital to the development of town's, neighborhoods and cities. Having a amazing support staff to work around is another pro that has aided in my satisfaction with this company. It's a 8-5 Monday through Friday work week and plenty of holidays too. I worked retail as a manager for over a decade prior to me working at Graybar. I remember coming into work and feeling anxiety about my store's performance and the constant micro-managing I had to endure daily, weekly and monthly. I lost the passion for my previous job and wondered if it was something that I could regain after being beaten down year after year. Then came a day where everything changed. I attended a job fair and met my current boss and well the rest has been history. I enjoy waking up for work everyday. I enjoy the quality of life that has been vastly improved over the past six months, I also enjoy having something to be passionate about and encourages me to invest in myself to improve and to constantly challenge myself day after day.

Cons

Not having standing desks. Décor in the office is from 1992.
