Pros

Good hours and flexible depending on team. Pay was good and benefits (PTO, health insurance, and even work life) were more than acceptable. If you're in the collections department, your ability to talk to people should be enhanced as you're talking to customers over phone.

Cons

Deadlines can be hectic and also when trying to collect money from various businesses it could be tiresome. May take you months to collect a simple payment from some people. This only applies to collections department.

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.
