At Syracuse, he was awarded the Henry J. Wolff prize, given to the Newhouse student "most proficient in journalism".
Glor was co-anchor of WSTM-TV Syracuse's 5 p.m. newscast and a reporter for the 11 p.m. newscast (2000–2003). He was the morning news anchor from 1997–2000.

He joined CBS News in 2007, where he has covered a wide range of stories domestically and internationally, including the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, Hurricane Sandy's landfall in Atlantic City, the crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, US Airways Flight 1549's landing in the Hudson, the 2011 Norway attacks, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and the Iraq War (where he was embedded with U.S. soldiers). He has reported from four Olympic Games, including the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver for CBS. He was The Early Show's primary political correspondent in 2008, drove cross-country for CBS's "Eye on the Road" series that same year, and reported on Pope Benedict XVI's visit to New York City and Washington, D.C.
