Pros

Plenty of jobs within multiple departments - if you don't like it, switch without too much hassle Opportunity to get bonuses Cafeteria food is good and the employees there are great Basically most of the bad reviews I've read seem to be from people who didn't try to make their stay at Granite work for them. They offer tuition reimbursement which includes 50% back on books so if you don't like Granite itself you can always use them to advance your career elsewhere. There are so many different jobs within Granite and they are all advertised every week to the current employees. If you use the resources available to you, you can find a job you like, co-workers you enjoy working with, and supervisors/managers that actually help you out. It is a sales focused business (the CEO is a sales guy) so yeah, the sales people get the most out of it. So what? every company has a department that gets the most support.

Cons

Takes 2 years to get a raise. Senior rep positions are few and the process to get them is limited. Pay is only okay (great for those people who need to build a resume though).

I'd rather bag groceries.

Pros

The commission structure was one of the only reasons to suffer through the Cons, but management has recently screwed us after that too. (Not informing us until maybe 5 months later)

Cons

Create legal contracts with employees and then break them. Agree with others "cult-like" environment description. I am honest and hardworking and don't give up easily. However, this place will more than likely break even the strongest person. I regularly have coworkers crying at my desk for same reasons, one very sweet and hardworking peer said you need to be on "suicide watch" when working here. In short, management expects you to perform miracles which is fine and dandy but does not provide the tools necessary to accomplish goals or the guidance. When you are in need, no one is to be found.. The company implemented a routine where other departments need to acknowledge and compliment one another each week because fights used to break out in the parking lot. Nobody wants to help each other here. Not to mention they do find ways to remove some of the negative comments from review websites..

Pros

I made some great friends, and learned how to work in an difficult environment. The money isn't bad.

Cons

The management is the worst I've ever worked with. They are belittling and demeaning. They will yell at people on the floor and and are just awful. It's like a revolving door with so many temps coming in and out, the average length of stay can't be longer than 3 months.
