The work environment is so hideous that it literally drains your spirit when you walk into the building. Who knows when the last time that carpet was replaced, 90% of the cubicles look like they have coffee stains on them, and the employees literally do the same thing every. single. DAY. Now, I understand the appearance isn't the most important part but COME ON, we are in 2015 and you are telling me you're a debt free BILLION DOLLAR company and you can't make the place look a little more welcoming and happy? You walk in and its like "damn, this place looks horrible".
Besides that, the real reason why I gave them only 1 star is because the training was horrible. The woman who led training/orientation not only did not train us properly, but she would sit there and talk about her diet the entire time and how great of an employee she is. She couldn't even train properly. Not only that, but she made me and half of the other employees in orientation super uncomfortable with her use of the word "ghetto". She sat for an hour and explained how a lot of, "ghetto" people used to work at the company and they changed their method of hiring due to this(they switched to hiring majority of college grads). I will let you take that however you'd like to, because apparently people who don't have a college education are "ghetto". And apparently, "ghetto" is an adjective now. I don't know how she had anytime to label people as "ghetto" when she looked a hot mess her damn self. I don't know why she sat for an hour and a half talking about her diet(that no one cared about) when it clearly wasn't doing any justice to her appearance. Over all, I think granite has a lot of maturing to do in their training department. It was the third week and me and my co-workers that I started with were already talking about seeking other employment. If you work there, good luck.
