Reactive, not strategic

Management

Business Outlook

Pros

Employees can learn a lot and have great opportunity for growth. Employees who contribute can earn and move up, and transfer to other departments.

Cons

Management makes rash decisions and had no strategy. There is no mission statement. They will often forget rules make weeks before and it cause confusion. Departments are siloed and not the right people are told information to implement products or to care for customers. This causes tensions between groups. Companies rules are outdated and good people are lost. No flex time, no real HR to know what compensation should be, no real project management or change control. Things are done on a whim of upper management. A team of all white men.

Pros

Coming to work at Granite was one of the best decisions I could have made in my career. I have been working at Granite for a little under a year and the skills and experience I have gained in this year are more than I have ever learned at a previous job or through both my undergraduate and graduate programs. The team I work with has been incredible in providing valuable insight and support to the projects I work on. Furthermore, the ability and trust to work independently on big projects has allowed me to really develop myself in my profession. There are always new opportunities to try something new and I feel like my feedback and contributions have always been appreciated and respected. I would definitely recommend Granite for anyone who has a passion for learning, working hard, and developing a work ethic that will benefit you for a very long time.

Cons

When I was first beginning at Granite I was hesitant about the culture after reading some of the reviews online; however, I have developed a different perspective and understanding since I have begun working here. -Getting to work on time at 8:00 am--this has taught me incredible discipline that I haven't had since I was in high school. Sometimes the structure and the consistency can add a lot of productivity to your careers and your overall life. I can honestly say that my efficiency levels have gone up since I have begun working at Granite. The accountability makes me think twice about being late and letting the others in my department to pick up for my slack. -No Work from Home Policy--One may argue that this policy is unfair and does not allow the flexibility that some employees may need. Again, think about it like this. If you request the opportunity to work from home and it is granted, then changes are everyone in your department will begin making that same request. While you may believe your work ethic will allow you to be extremely productive at home; others may take advantage of this and the company will suffer. Granite is serving 1000s of customers on a daily basis. Everyone on Granite's team is essential to doing this, and opening the door to "working from home" may risk our responsibilities to our customers. If we were a self-serving start-up, or a company where we did not manage utilities to thousands of retail and corporate locations (including the government) across the world, then I would understand how this may be an issue. But we need everyone on the team to work efficiently and effectively to provide our customers with the service they choose Granite for.

Opportunity and Challenge Is There...If You Want It

Pros

Granite Telecommunications is expanding at a lightning-fast rate. This company has offered me a clear path to progress with tangible goals and unique, often difficult, challenges. If you demonstrate your competency and diligent work ethic, upper management will recognize and reward you with greater pay and promotions. This is an excellent time to work at Granite Telecommunications as the company expands into more diverse areas of the industry; Granite's bread and butter is the public switched telephone network, but the company is making its presence known in the SIP/hosted PBX arena, as well as branching out into wireless services and dedicated internet access circuits. There is a steep learning curve for everyone in the company, but that's what makes it all the more exciting. There is plenty of opportunity for growth, but you need to look for it.

Cons

Granite maintains a strict schedule (8 am to 5 pm with a mandatory 12 pm to 1 pm lunch break) for better or worse. Some folks do well with the structure, others don't. I wish the company would institute a formal work from home policy for those with greater seniority. There's also no paternity/maternity leave. Men have to wear a tie from Monday to Wednesday, which is outdated if you ask anyone under 35. The parking lot is often very unsafe with workers rushing out at 5 sharp - it's fortunate that there aren't more accidents or pedestrian injuries because of this.
