Pros

Good health and dental Quarterly bonuses Teammates have become close friends

Cons

Working at Granite has been an absolute nightmare in the last 6 months, and quickly getting worse. Granite has quickly devolved into a toxic work environment where blame and scapegoating are the norm, and managers excel at finding ways to place blame on their employees, even when it's clearly undeserved. The toxic culture at Granite is pervasive and suffocating. Instead of fostering an atmosphere of collaboration and support, managers are quick to point fingers for any mishaps or failures. It's disheartening to witness the lack of accountability. What's worse is that even when an employee is clearly not at fault for a problem or mistake, management somehow manages to twist the narrative and find a way to pin the blame. It's a soul-crushing experience to be constantly walking on eggshells, fearing that any misstep, like not responding to an email within minutes, will result in being unjustly blamed and facing the repercussions. This toxic culture takes a toll on employee morale and well-being. It creates an environment of constant stress, anxiety, and mistrust. The fear of being targeted and unfairly blamed stifles creativity, innovation, and open communication. It's no wonder that talented individuals are fleeing from Granite in search of healthier work environments that value their contributions and treat employees with respect. If you're considering working at Granite, I implore you to think twice. The toxic work environment and the blame game mentality are detrimental to your career growth and overall happiness. You deserve a workplace where your efforts are recognized and appreciated, not one where you're constantly made to feel like a scapegoat for management's failures. In conclusion, Granite has cultivated a toxic culture that promotes blame and undermines the well-being of its employees. It is a disheartening and demoralizing place to work. I hope that management takes this feedback seriously and takes immediate steps to rectify the toxic environment they have recently created.

Pros

-Good starter job, esp just out of college -The management that is good, can be really good. Makes or breaks a position -Despite sharp downtick in work during pandemic, shifted resources around depts to prevent layoffs -Bonuses and day off contests are pretty decent -Benefits aren't bad

Cons

-CEO surrounds himself with yes men and seems to be committed to not incentivizing employees with things they really want -Despite being a billionaire who takes every opportunity to flaunt his wealth, positions are grossly underpaid and raises are only given when promoted (As opposed to yearly quality of life) -Granite moved multiple depts to a completely new system called ConnectWise, which isn't that bad of a thing since old systems were severely out of date. However immediately hamstrings those depts by gutting as many people as they could before employees were fully comfortable with the system -Moved the company to a hybrid 3/2 system with the stipulation it could be pulled back if metrics aren't met. OPs metrics are being crushed, but CEO is now deciding to pull company back to 4/1 in an insulting, buzzword laden speech, citing the need for "more collaboration" and "training" that everyone knows is not going to happen. Defers further questions to a CPO who can never be found or answers emails.
