Granite Telecommunications reviews

You are discouraged from asking questions. Sales is a boys club over there and if you aren't a jock or an attractive female you aren't part of the "team" (which I use very loosely). They play their customers with smoke and mirrors. Turnover is outrageous. There is an air of entitlement with anyone who has been there for any duration. You can run out of the door at 5 but you are expected to be available 24/7. Monday morning meetings where brass strokes each others ego is actually comical so at least you get to waste a half an hour of the work day while the work week wastes your life.

Granite treats experienced employees like they are children. You are constantly monitored on your PC, if you are late or away from your PC possibly working on an issue and not on your PC - HR will send a warning an you can be written up. I have worked at Granite for 5 years and have worked with many companies, if you want to lose your ability to work on your own and think for yourself this is not your company. Rob the CEO brags about not laying people off and says he would never do, well while he is making over 2B yes 2 Billion he laid off employees that were underpaid in the first place. Unless you are in the good old boy frat club this is place is toxic. He brags about donating millions of money a year to charities but it takes you 4 months to get a computer because there is no budget, what? He is actually hiring a new kid that has no telecom experience because he is the a political friends son, no experience in telecom. So fire the people that have experience and hire the young kid because he is a government figures son. That is a way to boost morale in the company, then triple everyone's quota so you do not have to pay them a bonus, kudos for you. Unless you are totally desperate for a job and want to be treated like a child then go for it. Wait for a quality job if you can, this is the worst place I have ever worked for out of 7 companies that I have worked for including cold call sales.
