this place is awful

Pros

It's a job, it's pretty easy to get hired.

Cons

You are reminded daily that you are replaceable. Nothing is explained to you and you're still expected to know everything. It's just as easy to get fired as hired.

Does not appreciate employees

Pros

It's a Growing Company at a convenient location. This is also a big company and you will meet a lot of people. If you are in the right department, working with and for the right people, things can be great. They have a good health plan and cover a good amount.

Cons

I was at Granite for about 6 years and it nearly tripled in size when I left. Unfortunately, I don't think Granite managed its growth as well as they could have. Due to their lack of employee appreciation, people were in and out of there like rotating doors. They would leave the company or do lateral moves into other departments. I felt because of this, a lot of people there did not know their jobs well as they should and this includes supervisors and managers. There is no Human Resource department at Granite. If you are having any work related issues, you need to see the Senior Corporate Counsel which I find extremely unusual for a company of 1000+ employees. There are no annual pay raises but they do (try to) compensate by giving free lunches and days off here and there.

Pros

This place is a stepping stone where you can develop skills - technical, communication, organization, but that is where the benefits end. They also have 2-3 really good sales reps that keep the company afloat. You will learn how NOT to run a company, which is valuable as well. I should note that the other negative reviews are 100% accurate and I would advise potential applicants to steer far, far away. While I enjoyed some of my time there and met some great people, I do feel like I wasted time and my career suffered because of it.

Cons

It's a job, not a career. Extremely poor management with a everyone is replaceable mentality. They avoid promotions and raises at all costs, more recently shy away from substantial bonuses, yet gloat about how fast they're growing. There is very low morale in the office as everyone is frustrated and overworked. My time here was flooded with empty promises.
