Pros

Broad company - wide range of jobs and good upward career possibilities given the fact that the bulk of management is very old.

Cons

Old minds, old ways of thinking...they are very slow to change. Many great ideas are lost due to favoritism to old methods and peoples resistance to try anything new.

Pros

Even though Granite Construction is a very large company, it was nice getting to know the people thru the interview processes.

Cons

Granite Construction is a very large company that is hard to work your way up in. In talking to others in the company, they said it is not worth it if you are trying to stay with the company for many years.

Pros

I never had a check bounce which is nice they had a good HMO plan when i worked there that cost a lot before taxes but covered everything that i needed for the family. I was given a company truck to use for all work related projects. I enjoyed my boss from my former company but had a hard time with true granite made managers

Cons

You have to work a lot of non traditional hours with no overtime or compensation for the work. They tell you that it all works out in the end but it does not . Truck was not to be used for non work project even though i had to park it in front of my house with their billboard on the side i could not haul leaves to the dump or pick up an large items at the store had to borrow a friends truck for that. When they laid me off i was the most knowledgeable person in my position and was replaced by the engineer i had been training. Layoffs were not based on work ethics or project completed they never let us know why they let us go even if it had been unlucky lotto i was never notified a total bummer.
