Cons

I bet this review gets cycled below the bloated fake 5 star reviews. Don't be fooled with the Granite updates and fun facts. You're smarter than that. - Militant schedule for hourly and salary employees. It is not a joke that work starts at 8, lunch is 12-1, and the day ends at 5...but if you leave at 5 you'll get a good eye roll from upper management. - Kissing up gets your promoted...hard work does not. - Upper management consists of individuals from the original bankrupted Network Plus...needless to say they lack professionalism, actual job knowledge and management experience. There are a few management members that truly care about their employees - these are the few that help maintain some semblance of sanity. - When Granite started, the economy was doing poorly and so they capitalized on mass hiring cheap labor. Unfortunately they still see their employees as bodies and not actual people with families and lives. This leads to interdepartmental struggle and conflict as it turns into an upsetting every man for himself. - The commission structure has been cut back significantly on a yearly basis for multiple depts. - Sales and upper management receive great pay outs for the work the other 90% of the company is actually doing. - A cube farm patrolled by robot like management. If you keep your head down and remain silent you might survive. - A common phrase among depts is "make your money and get out." Those who don't get out suffer anxiety, low pay, no work/life balance, and nightmares. I hold a reputable salaried position, so don't think these cons are coming from an unintelligent disgruntled part timer.

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.
