Pros

Nice work life balance, nice colleagues and management, benefit is above average

Cons

Pay rate is really low, and your working time has no flexibility. You basically is not allowed to be late for even 1 min, unless you have a good super.

Pros

Gym, weekends off, CEO strong motivation and dedication

Cons

You are required to drive into work during all snow storms even during state of emergency. You have to risk your life to get into work or your at risk of losing your job. You have to be at your desk by 8:00am not 8:01. The bell rings .Absolutely no parking so you need to get at work by 7:00am. Everyone in the two buildings are required to go to lunch at exact same time - 12:00 pm not 11:58. Leave your desk like a robot at 12:00pm. Then people run down the stairs like there is a fire or something. You have to be very careful you don’t get pushed down if your not fast enough. You are required to be at your desk by 1:00pm not 1:01. But then there is no parking so you get back at the parking lot to find a spot by 12:35. Oh I forgot to mention the traffic of cars leaving at 12 is pretty bad so you lose about 10 minutes of your lunch time. If you stay at your desk you end up working and eating you will see that the people that do that all end up very large. You can not listen to music, the bathrooms have no paper towels, the toilets are often filled will dark water, the stairway smells like urine, the conference room chairs are broken and people have fallen, the lunch cafe is not the best, they are working on improving that one. The elevator gets stuck all the time, it will just be a matter of time when you will be the next person to be stuck. In the elevator. There is meeting every Monday in which it’s mandatory for everyone to attend. Not enough chairs and it can last for over an hour. There is no maternity leave what so every. No family friendly benefits, no work-life balance, no leadership. No culture, tons of turnover. Don’t do it !

First, I want to apologize for my tardy response. We appreciate you taking the time to review your experience here at Granite. We apologize that your experience here did not match your expectations. We strive to create a positive work environment where our employees have opportunities to grow and succeed within the company and we are saddened to hear that we missed in delivering you that experience. Our CEO has taken it upon himself to sit down with our teammates, provide lunch and openly discuss concerns. We have implemented a new policy for the upcoming winter, created additional parking spaces and have new lunch vendors coming in every Friday. As to your concerns about our work days starting, ending and our lunch hour, we promote a structured schedule so our employees can have a work life balance that they deserve. As for the traffic concerns, unfortunately, traffic is unavoidable in the city. We are disappointed to hear about the cleanliness of the bathroom as they are stocked and cleaned every 3 hours. The concerns you have brought up will be addressed internally and we will work to make a positive improvement within our organization. Again, thank you for your feedback and we wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.
