Pros

Training, Networking and connecting with Manufactures and Manufacture Reps, Buying Power, Graybar has terms with alot of MFG's.

Cons

Terrible office environment, unprofessional, must brown nose or your casted out and removed, favoritism, management is back stabbing and inexperienced. Lack of direction, wonder how some people got into the positions they are in. Purposely hiring untalented people to keep them complacent, if your a go-getter, move right along.

Pros

Many opportunities to learn about distribution and management. Pto is three weeks per year plus holidays and over a s Week of sick time. If you work here longer, you can buy enough company shares to receive a sizeable dividend each year. You are allowed to buy about 5% of your salary in company shares per year and then receive usually 20% of that back per year. The profit sharing plan contributes 10% of your salary to your 401k account but you need to be vested to keep it all.

Cons

You will need a second job to live. Sales reps make way more and do half the work but they report to their managers much more. If you are a CSR, sales people feel entitled to treat you however they want and their manager will back them up. You are watched by coworkers and management like a high surveillance prison especially when you're new but they will leave you alone if you're good at your job after a year or so. Graybar brags about how much revenue and profit they make but middle and upper management suck it all up leaving scraps for the workers who made it for them.
