Pros

pay was 17/hr I guess

Cons

Work here if you want to but don't be a driver. One of the worst experiences of my life. You'll be ready to go with the materials and they'll tell you they forgot some things and add more stuff where you have to leave later than when you wanted. You will get blamed for everything that goes wrong. Having this done every now and then is fine but the fact that it becomes a constant thing is when it starts to eat at you. After a few months of being there, there started to be a favoritism towards a particular driver which led them to getting short routes all the time and that to me is utter bs since the routes are (or were) supposed to change every day. The warehouse people think they own you and can boss you every which way. I will end it here because I am tired of typing but know this is not even a quarter of the bs that you will go through as a driver here. STAY AWAY.

Pros

Employee owned so profits are shared with both employees AND employee stock holders

Cons

Graybar is trying to keep pace with the digital transformation of our industry, But, most senior leaders lack the experience needed to execute true digital change. As a result, the company has made several costly missteps. Graybar needs more outside senior talent with a proven track record of building and deploying customer‑facing digital solutions that both simplify the customer experience and reduce Graybar internal labor. Our current AI initiatives are unlikely to deliver meaningful results because our data is too inconsistent to support AI and other inititives. Without significant changes soon, Graybar’s long‑term outlook risks mirroring companies like Blockbuster, Borders Bookstores, Sears, and JCPenney—businesses that failed to adapt when customers shifted to online purchasing instead of relying solely on brick‑and‑mortar service or phone/fax to place orders.
