Pros

-Easy Commute -Gym 24/7 -Free Parking -Entry level job for new graduates -Young atmosphere

Cons

I don't even know where to begin; but do see all other negative reviews. From personal experience, I didn't want to believe them so I ignored them. They are all true. -You are expected to work during state of emergency; that means Travel ban or not, too bad you best get to work, or expect an unpaid day. -8:00AM sharp, and there is no flexibility around it. Okay, yes, I know work is work, and you have to be to work at a certain time. That being said, I have worked for many larger companies that offered flexibility; come in late, stay a little later, work through lunch, and so forth. I have worked with companies that understood during the snow storm, that T was heavily impacted causing major traffic in the morning. -The pay is horrible; they really expect you to make just a few dollars above minimum wage, and require a degree to work here? I have worked for many places that paid more, and I didn't finish my degree at the time. -Everyone has to take lunch at noon- no exceptions. Again, many companies I've worked for always had flexibility as to when you can take lunch. I came in early actually, but I forgot to clock in at 8. I've begun working, however because I clocked in late I was asked to stay until 5:15 because I clocked in late. Seriously?! It's a one day mistake!! However, I of course left at the time I usually do. -The dress code is extremely anal. For males; if you dare not to show up to work with a tie, expect to be sent home. Why a company like this is even asking for ties, I have no idea, but it's ridiculously enforced.

Pros

You meet some great people and learn new things that you can make useful in the future. Great location close to the T and there is free parking. There are 2 free gyms lots of activities outside of work. The random bonus money you get is nice but tax takes the majority of it. Depending on which department your in you get random days off if the company makes their goals.

Cons

To start off they require a bachelors degree and the pay is horrible you barely get a raise. You will most likely be smarter than your leadership team (seniors, supervisors, managers, etc.) The lazy people get away with everything and they do little to no work, they will be mentioned as the most active person on the team and be accredited for your hard work and then promoted. This is allowed since they kiss up to management. Not very smart to run a department or a company with lazy idiots in charge of everything and making the rules. Granite loves favoritism so don't think your work will mean anything and remember quantity over quality always. Be prepared to take on the burden of other departments responsibilities and you have to fix it. Your job description changes whenever leadership feels like pawning something else on you without warning. 24/7 staffing is required if leadership screws up the schedule somehow or someone quits you could end up working a random shift your not used to just to ensure coverage. As a temp you quickly learn that you want to get in and get out. The list goes on but I won't be extremely negative
