Pros

The people you will meet

Cons

Being underpaid, little room for advancement, your coworker they just hired are probably making more than you even though you'll have to train them, terrible management, disrespectful sales reps, treated like a high school student, nickles and dimes employees (Close to 2 billion dollars and employees still have to buy their own coffee), the terrible feeling you get on a Sunday night before going back in, unproductive Monday mornings meetings, over worked and under paid, inflexible work schedule, your "Temp" period will not count towards any benefits, inflated rating, will hire anything that breathes just make sure to pass your test, 100 is designed to suck the life out of you

Pros

Experience to put on your resume.

Cons

There are many cons to this company/job... 1) They don't invest in their employees. Their system is designed to work you to the point of burnout. If you go above and beyond, they will take advantage of you. If you speak up/out, they will mentally harass you. 2) Pay is terrible. Management is even worse. It is the true definition of a soul sucking job. 3) Benefits are very bad. The only slight effort they make to bring people together is a yearly gathering for go-carting...yeah. Oh, and the CEO will splurge one time a year for some outdoor movie night with food trucks. 4) If you do well, they will not try to help you advance your career. You are only promoted after set amount of time. If you try to leave to another department, they will keep you in. 5) They want robots. They treat you like a number, not a human being. 6) The place is a revolving door, which they bank on. People are constantly leaving because they hate working here. Again, Granite benefits from that, so they can get the new recruits and work for a period, until they learn better and leave. Did I mention that management sucks? Yeah. In summary, I highly recommend you look elsewhere. For your own well being and sanity, do not work for Granite.

Pros

Convenient location, free gym on-site, can be a stepping stone

Cons

Do not listen to your recruiter! Pay is low. Workers are treated as worker bees, not individuals, this results in extremely high turnover and an attitude by management that everyone is only using the role as a stepping stone. My coworkers openly talked about how they wanted to leave the job. Also, there are slim amounts of autonomy, a ton of micromanagement, and a mind-blowing amount of rules. For instance, after the Redsox won the world series, everyone was allowed to dress casually in Redsox attire rather than in business professional attire to celebrate the win. Not within an hour of the work day, everyone received an email that if they were not in Redsox attire specifically (other Boston sports teams did not count) you would be sent home to change into formal attire, without pay. Craziness! I left and found a job that is better in every category. Believe me, you can do better than work here!
