Pros
Above average pay compared to many other warehouse jobs. Smaller warehouse so less accidents. You are kept pretty busy (especially once you are trained in various parts of the warehouse) so you don't have to pretend to look busy that often; although, it definitely gets slower in the winter. Also have daily safety meetings (every worker in the warehouse must attend); safety is a huge deal at Graybar. Questions about anything are encouraged and you won't get looked down upon for asking them. Making sure you do get the job done right is more important than getting it done fast (quality over quantity). Generally speaking, everybody is pretty friendly.
Cons
Mandatory overtime (even for part-timers!) if the company is behind schedule or is overloaded with work (which happens pretty frequently in the summer time). Training had gotten a lot better when I left compared to when I first started working there but I still feel like new workers aren't trained well enough before they are free to work on their own; many common questions and problems they typically have should have already been addressed by management/trainers; you will have to be adaptable and learn a lot on your own. Only a 50 cent raise for every year you are with the company. Part-timers don't have any benefits.
