Pros

-Easy Commute -Gym 24/7 -Free Parking -Entry level job for new graduates -Young atmosphere

Cons

I don't even know where to begin; but do see all other negative reviews. From personal experience, I didn't want to believe them so I ignored them. They are all true. -You are expected to work during state of emergency; that means Travel ban or not, too bad you best get to work, or expect an unpaid day. -8:00AM sharp, and there is no flexibility around it. Okay, yes, I know work is work, and you have to be to work at a certain time. That being said, I have worked for many larger companies that offered flexibility; come in late, stay a little later, work through lunch, and so forth. I have worked with companies that understood during the snow storm, that T was heavily impacted causing major traffic in the morning. -The pay is horrible; they really expect you to make just a few dollars above minimum wage, and require a degree to work here? I have worked for many places that paid more, and I didn't finish my degree at the time. -Everyone has to take lunch at noon- no exceptions. Again, many companies I've worked for always had flexibility as to when you can take lunch. I came in early actually, but I forgot to clock in at 8. I've begun working, however because I clocked in late I was asked to stay until 5:15 because I clocked in late. Seriously?! It's a one day mistake!! However, I of course left at the time I usually do. -The dress code is extremely anal. For males; if you dare not to show up to work with a tie, expect to be sent home. Why a company like this is even asking for ties, I have no idea, but it's ridiculously enforced.

Pros

I joined Granite 2 years ago in sales and have been very successful. They've provided me a well supported invironment to work in. Solid training programs such as Negotiation, Dale Carnege, and dedicated in-house training along with outside resources. Granite is does a billion dollars annually in revenue and the President/CEO sits in a cube along with the salespeople. The company frequently pays bonus to the employees based on hitting revenue goals. Other perks include afterwork company sponsored activities like Golfing, Softball and Bowling. Great Gym and fitness instruction, bootcamp, cross training all for free. If your willing to work hard and have the desire for success you can have fun and make life changing money.

Cons

In a age when some companies offer nap areas and flex hours Granite is bit of a throwback. Coasting is not an option, hard work is demanded. No domestic partner coverage on health insurance.
