Pros

Um.. the building has a roof and heating/air conditioning. That's about it that I'd say is good hahah.

Cons

High stress, bad management, low pay, awful work culture, constantly feeling like you're being watched, and given no freedom or flexibility to create work/life balance

Anything else but Sales?, Good Luck

Pros

On-site gym: Saving $10/month from my local gym Friends: We could commiserate the Granite experience together

Cons

Hiring Process: 3 months temp work, then if they like you, the chance to take a drug test for a permanent position. It is ideal to seek employment elsewhere during this process. In addition, you do not have any benefits during this time. Low Pay: The pay for customer facing job is on the lowest end and a tad better than working at customer oriented stores. No yearly raises: The only way to gain more $ is via promotions (which doesn’t come often) and certifications (job pending) Selfish Environment: The leadership only cares about their own team and hitting goals to get bonuses. For the new comers, the experience will depend on your upper management and team. Sales Centric Org: Sales are the bloodline of Granite and all the CEO cares about. If you serve the customer, then good luck. If you serve the corp, then they own all your hours. If you are Sales, you are the one.

Zero Work Life Balance

Pros

Pros- easy to switch departments if you want to try a different role, company-wide bonuses (at an attempt to make up for how low-paying they are), contests here and there for paid days off (usually holidays most companies give you off already anyways)

Cons

Absolute minimum holidays off. ZERO work-life balance. 8-5 with 12-1 being lunch with zero flexibility at all. Need to leave early for a doctors appointment and want to work an hour through your lunch so you can leave an hour early? Nope. That will charge you PTO. Management is absolutely terrible. The most terrible leaders I have ever seen in a company. Greedy, selfish, liars...a few words I would use to describe them. I was piled on with much work as possible everyday and then some. Stressful and unenjoyable and life consuming, absolute painful place to work
