Pros

Plenty of jobs within multiple departments - if you don't like it, switch without too much hassle Opportunity to get bonuses Cafeteria food is good and the employees there are great Basically most of the bad reviews I've read seem to be from people who didn't try to make their stay at Granite work for them. They offer tuition reimbursement which includes 50% back on books so if you don't like Granite itself you can always use them to advance your career elsewhere. There are so many different jobs within Granite and they are all advertised every week to the current employees. If you use the resources available to you, you can find a job you like, co-workers you enjoy working with, and supervisors/managers that actually help you out. It is a sales focused business (the CEO is a sales guy) so yeah, the sales people get the most out of it. So what? every company has a department that gets the most support.

Cons

Takes 2 years to get a raise. Senior rep positions are few and the process to get them is limited. Pay is only okay (great for those people who need to build a resume though).

Pros

When learning I was discouraged and even threatened for asking too many questions. Everything is a big secret there and no one is willing to help anyone else out. They use smoke and mirrors on their clients. Sales is a boys club and if you aren’t in sales or a jock you have to be an attractive female. Hands down this is the worst place I have ever worked. And the Monday morning meeting where brass strokes each other egos is actually comical so that was a good way to start each week.

Cons

You are discouraged from asking questions. Sales is a boys club over there and if you aren't a jock or an attractive female you aren't part of the "team" (which I use very loosely). They play their customers with smoke and mirrors. Turnover is outrageous. There is an air of entitlement with anyone who has been there for any duration. You can run out of the door at 5 but you are expected to be available 24/7. Monday morning meetings where brass strokes each others ego is actually comical so at least you get to waste a half an hour of the work day while the work week wastes your life.
