Granite Telecommunications reviews

CULTURE OF FEAR - upper management walks around and looks over your shoulder. We actually got an email stating that management "doesn't want to see us socializing." It disgusting. If you don't meet the unrealistic goals each week, you get reprimanded. Some people get so worried about making the goals that they make up extra things to fill the gaps (basically, they lie). Weekly quizzes - if your four week average is under 70%, it's an automatic warning. You can also get a warning if you're late, or if a customer complains about you (whether the complaint is legit or not), and the third warning gets you fired. That's only if you're a permanent employee, though. Temps can get fired for no reason at all - I've seen it happen. Management tallies up our numbers and announces them at weekly departmental meetings, which only makes those who are struggling feel worse because we're constantly being compared to one another. Those who get the best numbers, or the "extra mile" get a gift card. Big whoop. How about a raise? We are constantly being given more responsibilities, but we never get any compensation. We're expected to instantly become experts on new products and procedures, and if we do it wrong because we were improperly trained, we are reprimanded. While this isn't technically the company's fault, we often get yelled at, sworn at, and once I even had a customer tell me that I'm a "worthless piece of ****," and that I should be fired for "being useless and stupid." This job is NOT worth the low pay and minimal benefits.

All the sales managers up to the CEO are absolute jokes and just lie to you about making money there. There have every pep talk in the book about people making money but at the end of the day people are only making money off of existing accounts that they have had for years this new business they talk about isn't true so if you think you are going to be getting rich like they tell you then you're wrong. I have never seen morale at a company be so bad almost suicidal. People count down to the second when the day ends and run out the door however if you leave at 4:59 and someone catches you there is a good chance you will be fired.
