Your value at Graybar is determined by if you started behind the counter there, how many miles you can travel each year, and if you can appear to be innovative without actually doing anything innovative that could rock the ESOP boat. And the CEO is a vindictive puppet.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The dollar our prorate I am paid is high.
What did you like most about the interview process?
We could tell almost immediately we were in lockstep on vision for the company. Unfortunately the person that hired me was one of the first to leave.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Graybar is way too inbred, and has to start hiring lots more manager and executive level staff, from without. Left unchecked they will be passed up by the competition. All the most innovative people I worked with there have already left.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We all can commiserate with each other about the futility of working there, and that the pay and benefits are the only reasons we stay. We really are allowed to do nothing positive for the industry which is enough to make you want to leave.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Start rewarding by merit and promoting by merit, and weed out favoritism. Graybar says it’s all about integrity and morals in the workplace, yet favoritism is common place, and my boss who drilled me on morals and integrity, turned around and plagiarized my white paper on LinkedI
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They need to get better at actually having the skill sets required for the job, rather than being best buddies with whoever picks them for the position. I need to get better at actually embracing and encouraging innovation rather than pretending do you want it when they actually eschew it.
