Granite Telecommunications reviews

Pay is pretty lousy, I do not look at this as a career whatsoever. They do not care about retaining talent via proper compensation--hiring hundreds of temp-to-perm employees every year is pretty much their business plan to compensate for the high turnover. The hours are insanely rigid--you must show up at 8:00 and not a minute later, and everyone must take their unpaid lunch break from 12-1 everyday--pretty much high school all over again. The absolute worst part is the expectation to travel great lengths during dangerous weather--even if you are not essential. Mr. Hale seems to enjoy when his business is the only one that is open in Quincy during a blizzard or hurricane. My commute has taken up to 3 hours on one such occasion, and I was not paid for that time missed.
