Pros

Typical throw money at everything attitude from HR and upper management, therefore lots of perks to keep employees happy. Touting community-involvement...boasting zero debt and all. Sales mentality eh

Cons

Very political structure based on who is friends with who. Managers and supervisors have Resume inflation written all over their face. Very much fragmented within which allows for excessive and passive aggressive friction between departments. Extremely weak operationally, with waste of time and resources absorbed into the law of over communicating to impress customers. Blind leading the blind culture but can be ideal if you know how to fake confidence with customers to make the company look good. When you first start be prepared to be walked all over and treated unprofessionally by other employees. Once you settle in you’ll realize that Granite is just a me-too company that gets customers to sign up for low-class services.

Pros

A gym, cafeteria, close to T

Cons

The culture at Granite is like a used car lot. No, actually worse. More like a Pirate Ship. There are no rules, morals, or ethics. Its a free-for-all. There are supposed to be territories set up, but it does not work. The Shark Tank of favorites in each office get the "big fish" accounts. It is unfair to the new reps, to say the least. Managers will steal accounts right out from under you, or split it with their favorites. That way its not as obvious. "Oh, John was already working that one...tough luck." But don't raise a stink or you'll be labeled a whiner. Addressing it with "management" is a waste of time. They will always side with their favorites. Lying to customers, teammates, is completely OK with the owner and all that kiss up to him enough. It is really that unbelievable! Don't buy the big money they tell you is possible to make either. That's about as believable as the 4 and 5 Star reviews on this page.

Pros

Great place to get after college professional experience. If your break out of the pack early on there is room to grow up.

Cons

High turn over rate, higher ups will work you as hard as they can for little in return. If you get a good supervisor there is room for growth, but if not then you will have to do flips for raises or promotions.
