Pros

Granite is big into charity.

Cons

Employees are overworked and they don't care if there is a blizzard outside with dangerous road condition, they still force you to come in and work. Temps are treated like second class citizens and is ignored by both middle and upper management. Temps don't have a day off during their months probation period at Granite, that includes doctors appointment. They hire and fire temps like they are disposable tools. Speaking about the doctors appointment when I became a permanent employee at this place, I was shocked to find out that employees only get 4 hours per week for doctors appointment and you have to bring a sign doctors note. A lot of my co-workers and the supervisors are very disgruntle and always stressed dealing with the premier reps and customers that it creates a very negative vibe at the workplace. Did I mention they are very STRICT about their hours. You start your shift at 8:00 a.m. on the dot, and 8:05 a.m. is considered very late in their book. A girl got fired because she was 10 minutes late for work. I just think they're a bit extreme here. I'm in the process of looking to get out of this horrible company and go work for a company that doesn't treat it's employees like trash. If you like a very strict corporate environment, then this place is for you.

Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to write this review. Our employees safety is always our #1 concern. We advise our employees if they do not feel safe driving in certain weather conditions then they should not. When there is a state of emergency, employees can use a vacation day or take an unpaid day at their discretion. When it comes to our sick time policy, or going to a doctor’s appointment. Temporary as well as full time employees are allowed to take as much time as needed to go to the doctors. Also a doctor’s note is not required for being out 1 day, it is only required if someone has been out sick for over a 3 consecutive day period. We want to empower our associates to make suggestions and share their ideas, so we hope you feel comfortable to share this feedback with your leaders like you have with us in a positive and constructive manner. Once again, thank you for your feedback.

Pros

No pros what so ever.

Cons

This company and specifically the collections department have very little opportunity for growth, despite what may be promised during the hiring process. Honestly, it’s a circus. Non stop tasks are thrown at employees each day. And Goals are constantly increased so analyst can’t reach them. Employees who work hard and consistently perform well often find themselves stuck in the same position with no clear path for advancement. Promotions and opportunities never appear to be based on performance or merit. Management is one of the biggest issues. They have no clue. Favoritism is prevalent, and certain employees seem to receive special treatment, better opportunities, and more support than others. This creates a frustrating and discouraging work environment where many employees feel undervalued and overlooked. Morale suffers when performance and dedication are overlooked in favor of personal relationships and when there is little accountability for management and no transparency regarding career development. Communication from leadership is lacking, and employee concerns are not addressed. Management gets defensive when employees ask questions or disagree with their stupid decisions. Overall, it can be a VERY challenging place to build a longterm career if you are looking for fair treatment, professional growth, and strong leadership. Turnover rate is very high. Also, micro management is at an all time high. Would not even recommend this place to a college grad for entry level experience, if i could Put 0 stars, i would. For the sake of your mental health, stay far away.
