Pros

The company has had continued growth since it's being opened and has a lot of room for career advancement with no signs of slowing down. Individuals willing to put in work and take initiative will go far. Excellent opportunity for those who are seeking to get into the telecom industry. As the company continues to grow there is always new positions available and roles to take on for employees who may be seeking a change in their day to day work. Tuition/Certification reimbursement is a great motivation to continue to learn and build your knowledge. Granite University training offers great classes for those interested in expanding knowledge in their field. The 401K plan is great compared to most employers in the same industry Paid time off is very generous and regular quarterly bonuses are always nice ways to incentivize employees The company regularly donates to charitable organizations of the employee's choosing Granite regularly holds events for the residents of Quincy and is very active in the community The work environment is inclusive and the workers are always friendly and willing to help out. Right off the red line

Cons

Lack of cross departmental training leads to occasional finger pointing and attempts to discredit co-workers from other teams. This can negatively effect potential growth opportunities while leaving relations strained between departments. Luckily issues tend to be far in between. The pay is not as high as many leading tech companies, often time leading to well qualified employees leaving to companies offering more competitive rates Long work days are frequent with little to no opportunity to work from home, many team members stay late to ensure that no issues arise after the normal work hours. Minimum 9 hour work days (1 hour unpaid lunch) is becoming the norm in most tech companies - while this is not a con specifically with Granite. The bachelors requirement stops the company from taking on well qualified individuals.

Pros

Great Management, good place to grow skills and apply any talents you may have. Overall a great job to have with plenty of room for growth.

Cons

I don't really see any downsides, other than having to start out working the night shift, but there is enough flexibility in the job to get the shift that you want if you work hard enough.
