Pros

Met Great people, excellent coworkers - unfortunately all in lower positions

Cons

Greedy, disconnected leadership, grabbing at straws for power and control, facade of "giving back" culture, poor managers, place feels like a sweatshop. They get away with it because poor college grads need a place to start. Temp to perm seems good enough until you are underpaid. You should see the stampede for the door at 5pm!

Pros

Friendly coworkers, company related events (fairly uncommon)

Cons

Plenty to list.. - Sales deals (how you’re measured by management) don’t get installed - Customer retention is horrific as a result of above - operations are relied upon to get things installed and can be difficult to reach or work with (imo they’re stretched too thin and not incentivized) - management at all levels seem clueless - compensation constantly screwed up - base not high enough to justify the many hats you wear in sales roles - no COL differences or improvements although they have offices in major cities - terrible systems in place for ops to work off of - I thought onboarding was thorough but missed the mark on what the job entailed - received very little coaching despite requests being made

Pros

Good stepping stone job to get you used to an office or corporate environment…. Don’t stay too long

Cons

-boys club. Upper management is terrible. Middle management is terrible -miss the mark on when they do try “inclusion”. Juneteenth 2021: “Tomorrow, on Juneteenth (June 18th), Granite Teammates are welcomed to leave 1 hour early to remind teammates of the freedom given to our black ancestors.” Who thought that was okay? -terrible cross-department collaboration. Trying to work with some repair reps in other departments is difficult, a lot of attitude with NO accountability -just another cog in the machine -Sales people are revered to a disturbing amount. -shady billing practices. Offers services at a “discount” but overcharges. -don’t even know how Granite Grid is even legal. It’s a monopoly that chokes out small businesses. -Fact: you can’t be in good moral standing and also feel good about the way this company conducts its business.
