Pros

Two free Gyms Annual bonus payouts if revenue goals are met. Most employees are in the 22-30 age range. Company paid certification courses.

Cons

Pitiful pay. Don't expect to support a family just off this one job. Power-tripping supervisors-it's a big joke. It's boot camp in a cubicle.

Cons

-No yearly raises. To get a raise, you must get promoted.There are people who have been in the same position for years and are making the same pay as someone who's only been there for 1 year. -No HR department. If you have an issue, you must bring it to your supervisor or manager but what if the issue is with your supervisor or manager?? -When you start, you are only allowed 10 vacation days and 5 sicks days for the whole year. None of these roll over. If you use all your time for the year, they will terminate you. -We had to come into work during Statewide Snow Emergencies no matter what. They recently changed this rule- now we have the option to use our own vacation time if we decided to call out. Shouldn't the company be responsible to pay us if the state is saying its too dangerous for anyone to head out?? Are telephone lines more important than the safety of your staff? -The cafeteria is expensive. The cashier woman will charge for every little thing on your plate and smile in your face like its nothing. -People quit left and right. -You need a degree to become a Supervisor which is not fair at all. There are people who have been there for years and know everything about Granite however they cannot get promoted to supervisor just because they don't have a degree. They will instead promote someone who knows little about the work and has a degree. This is very insulting. Just because someone has a degree, doesn't make them any more intelligent then someone who does not. This is coming from someone who has a Bachelors Degree. -2nd Floor- A certain Accuracy must be kept or they let you go. Ex. Level 1 rep must keep a 92% or above accuracy weekly. (10 orders placed in one day, 1 is incorrect and you get a 90% for the day. An incorrect could be seen as simple as missing a letter in a word) Fall behind and you get a verbal warning, after 4 weeks, you get a written warning, after another 4 weeks they terminate you. Keeping a job should be about your work ethic, your attitude, working as a team and an individual, punching in on time, how you get along with others, etc. It should not be based on how many simple mistakes you make in a week. This causes stress. We are all humans, we all make mistakes.
