Granite runs on favorites. You can be the top performer on one team and the worst on another depending on how your manager feels about you. The transparency of the bias will be denied if you bring up but obvious for everyone to see. Management fosters an incredibly unhealthy and unprofessional environment. So disconnected from employees that they use snitches to keep them informed of things they might know if they paid attention.
No HR and very conscious of image: There is someone on salary reviewing and rebutting every review and then soliciting fake positive reviews to counterbalance the negatives and bring up the overall score. Members of management seek to identify those who they think would be willing to write positive reviews and flat out ask them to do so. Perhaps they could have put those resources into addressing employee concerns rather than devoting an entire human whose only purpose is to temper the terrible image they've constructed amongst their employees might be helpful.
Turnover: a revolving door to the point that some employees are asked to lie about leaving the company when handing over accounts and instead told to claim a new position within.
CEO is an immature, petulant manchild. Clearly very insecure as he is a prime example of nepotism as opposed to hard work and behaves like he's running a frat house rather than a company. Berated unhappy employees for honestly answering a survey that he asked them to take instead of taking into consideration the concerns leading to said dissatisfaction. Told people to quit because he is unwilling to change anything mentioned ever (actual statement)
This place is such an absolute joke that it's shocking that people still want to work there. I admit to being a hopeful prospect writing off negative reviews as disgruntled ex employees but from first hand experience, it is an abnormal company in that it leaves employees worse than they come in.
