Anything else but Sales?, Good Luck

Pros

On-site gym: Saving $10/month from my local gym Friends: We could commiserate the Granite experience together

Cons

Hiring Process: 3 months temp work, then if they like you, the chance to take a drug test for a permanent position. It is ideal to seek employment elsewhere during this process. In addition, you do not have any benefits during this time. Low Pay: The pay for customer facing job is on the lowest end and a tad better than working at customer oriented stores. No yearly raises: The only way to gain more $ is via promotions (which doesn’t come often) and certifications (job pending) Selfish Environment: The leadership only cares about their own team and hitting goals to get bonuses. For the new comers, the experience will depend on your upper management and team. Sales Centric Org: Sales are the bloodline of Granite and all the CEO cares about. If you serve the customer, then good luck. If you serve the corp, then they own all your hours. If you are Sales, you are the one.

Good place to get started

Pros

There's a lot of people who are just coasting, so you can easily shine if you put in the work and push for advancement.

Cons

There's a bunch of office politics that can make your job difficult. Your job is dependent on how cooperative the ILECS are and that depends on the relationship management department. Not much you can do about it and can be demoralizing when working with a customer.

Pros

Cool people to work with in a nice looking office

Cons

Good ol boys club warning., lead by top boss. Quite literally, if the boss of office likes you, he will give sold deals to you ( $$$ representing tens of thousands of dollars $$$ of Granites money ) while everone needs to preted everything is a ok. several of the guys get deals over and over and "are safe" all because the "boss of the office" hand selected to give a large deal away. This is totally unethical, and adds major fuel to the fire of reps who say that not all are treated alike. The ceo has zero clue this has gone on right under his nose, as the lies are what keeps people in power.
