very bad place to work
employee (Former Employee), taunton –
Pros: pay ok
Cons: bad environment
graybar may be ok as a company but the taunton warehouse has no values more specifically in management. if your looking for a place to work and expect recognition and respect from management my advice is to move on!! management has no regard to people who work hard and they see only what they care to see. as for rest of the warehouse the people who – more...  work there are rude,obnoxious,offensive,ignorant and disrespectful – less

An "employee company" thats not at all what they seem
Material handler (Former Employee), Charlotte NC –
Pros: its a job. most weekends off. vacation time.
Cons: no advancement, average pay, low raises, hostile environment, poor management, poor values
Frankly and honestly this was one the worst job experiences Ive had here right here in the Charlotte NC area. Poor set up and standard operating procedures not to mention guidance/support from management.

A handful of employees don't come to work to get things done and others are expected to pick up the slack. They're are a few good workers but this – more...  routine from the slackers goes unpunished and there is no resolve. Compensation is a joke and you aren't rewarded for any of the hardwork you do put in all year. The company will say thank you in word but dont expect a thank you on your check next year. Theres always some avoidance tatic or excuse in this regard once evaluations come around. No advancement, not here in this district of the company's organization, especially for minorities (don't want to pull that card but this is the south after all and at least in this district of Graybar, it's beyond obvious).

Everyone's and anyone is target for unwarranted disciplinary actions that are often unexplained and have even resulted in wrongful termination. I don't doubt Graybar may be a good company in other areas of the country...namely where the unions ensure fair treatment of low level employees but here in the Richmond district, a great deal of change is needed for anyone to be content in working there. – less

This a compony with very good benefits but no future.
ware house attendant 1 (Former Employee), Albany, NY –
Pros: profit sharing
Cons: cut throat
Unless you can find a job in the upper management of this company or you really need work, this is a company with no future. One of my past co-workers had 30 years with the company. This person never left his desk. He went away for a vacation and when he returned he was layed off. I was layed off before him because I was supposed to have taken over – more...  his job. – less
