      Actually not that bad

      Pros

      A lot of these reviews complain about the strict schedule and sales-centric mentality across the company but these are some of the reason why the company generates 1.4 billion in yearly revenue. The workforce is very young and offers a wide array of entry level jobs. You aren't asked to work over 40 hours a week unless necessary, and if you're into working more, OT is allowed in certain roles. The company encourages self learning and will allow you to spend down time to increase your personal skill set. You get back what you put into it, so don't complain if you don't want to work hard but want to get paid top dollar at the same time. If you have a go getter mentality then its a good place for you. Asking for raises is kind of a taboo process across the company but I was rewarded when I brought to my superior's attention what I have accomplished and made my case to be paid more.

      Cons

      The compensation package is definitely below market average.

      Pros

      Good experience to put on a resume to elevate you elsewhere. Red line stop in parking lot. Awesome coworkers. Quarterly bonuses and sales competitions to get extra days off. Everyone is on the same page that this place is a stepping stone.

      Cons

      Extreme micromanagement. You have to be there from 8-5 Monday-Friday and can not work from home. If you have errands to do during the week, plan on taking a half or full day off. Work life balance is nonexistent and you will burn through your PTO. VERY few people are confident in their jobs. Everyone seems to be crossing their fingers getting by. This is due to the company not providing you with any *useful* training and upper management constantly making process changes to every little thing you do. You will get atleast 1 process change email per day. On top of this, their focus is to pick you apart for errors. When you start, you’re thrown into the fire and have to ask your coworkers every single little thing. Also, your supervisors will be completely useless until you know what you’re doing. It’s frustrating to watch. They won’t even do so much as set you up with your computer. One of your teammates will be assigned to you, and they will have to set you up and train you from the ground up whilst not getting paid a dime more and having to be on top of their own work. Even if you finish your work or have NO work, you are not leaving Granite. You are glued to your desk from 8-5. If you have nothing to do, you are still expected to sit there until 5 PM pretending to be busy and utterly wasting your own time. To anyone looking to apply here- This is an easy place to get some experience on your resume. Build up your skills and get out.

      Pros

      You'll meet a lot of new people.

      Cons

      Upper management needs to show more love for lower level employees. PTO and sick time are VERY regulated with no exceptions. Monday morning all hands meetings are long, unnecessary, and lowers the morale. Hale focuses heavily on numbers and creates the illusion of a high level culture within the organization. This is done by promoting and advertising events and donations with media organizations and social media. I'd be pressed to find a picture online of Granite that isn't promoting a donation of some kind. The commute is bad, and the parking lot is a nightmare. There is one non-private bathroom for about 200 people on one floor. Dress code, button up and tie, is completely unnecessary.
