Pros

Great family environment. Everyone works together and gets along. People pitch in as necessary to really get things accomplished. Usually opportunities for overtime. Pretty good pay, and profit sharing was a big plus. 95% of the time super busy which makes time fly, and when things slow down it's pretty fun and nice to get a little break.

Cons

Warehouse was generally short staffed, and head office did not want to hire more people. This meant it was hard to even take your breaks because people were stretched thin. Lots of times it would be hard to leave on time because of this. Also made it hard to schedule time off as they needed to have enough staff working at any given time.

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.
