Pros

If you are fresh out of college, you will meet a lot of friends and maybe even your future spouse. Lax environment where you can essentially complete your daily tasks in three hours and depending on your seating jam out on your cell phone the rest of the day or converse with your new friends. Make one of these friends your supervisor and you should be set at Granite. Go on coffee runs, smoke breaks or out drinking with them - you will be received, reviewed well and be in line for a promotion (the only way to get more money since merit is not rewarded with raises). Aim for salary because the same rigid time rules do not apply. You can be late and you can leave early. The company is Pro-Sales so the customer's satisfaction comes secondary which takes the pressure off and they can always give angry companies credits

Cons

You will find it nearly impossible to transfer from your temp placement department although they will fill that spot will a new temp from an agency with no experience. Accessibility to the MBTA is only a nominal benefit since the trains in Boston are abysmal and you will be penalized if you are late because of public transit. Their North Quincy location is terrible since you will hit grinding traffic by car coming from the north or south and again be penalized if you have to punch a clock. Once at work, there isn't nearly enough free parking so you can either park where there aren't spots or park in the MBTA lot and go to the desk to get your $5 back. Their lot, it's an absolute nightmare and gives you a pretty clear impression of the quality of people filling the ranks. Your car will most likely be hit or scratched and a few weeks ago a pedestrian was struck in the lot. Water cooler says it might not have been an accident

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.
