Pros

There are no positives to working here. Take a job with Granite if you have to have something, then move on, fast.

Cons

Granite is a company straight out of the 1950s with an 80-page rule book. Work hours are set at 8 - 5, lunch is 12 - 1, and you have to clock in. No work from home. The complex dress code is covered in detail in the handbook and includes ties for men on certain days, specific shirts, pants, and shoes, jeans are ok on Friday but they must be "tidy jeans!" You can dress down Fridays only if you contribute cash to a charity. You can't use your phone at your desk. It goes on and on and on ..... The handbook details disciplinary actions for violating every detail of your behavior, including first, second, and third offenses. If you've got to have a job, work here while you look for a company that is operating in the 21st century and run -- don't walk -- away from Granite.

Pros

(space because i need at least 5 words)

Cons

There is not enough space in this section to go over all the cons. Granite is the 2017 version of a prison camp. You are not treated like a human being and im surprised this place hasn't been shut down for how they treat there employees. You are barely even a number there. Recruiters will tell you everything you want to here to make it sound like the best place ever. LIES. 95% of sales reps will be gone within the first year mainly of their choice. Telecom is an impossible sale because it is 2017 and they re-sell copper telephone lines. I just want to guide anyone considering working here too not. I'd take any other job anywhere then work here, even be a janitor at a strip club. Hope this helps to you potential dead souls.

Pros

Lots of incentive to try to keep employees motivated through weekly competition. They also have decent benefits and from what I've heard there is room for career growth. Small free gym.

Cons

Had high turnover and didn't seem to really cultivate their talent and a lot of good workers were lost. The overall culture was very corporately draconian and forced all their employees to take their lunch break 12-1 (without a minute to spare!). To get an idea of how management viewed their employees, my first week there they let go of an entire department and rehired temp employees to replace them.
