Pros

• Top philanthropic donor in Massachusetts • 401k match for employees • Great vacation package • Hard work leads to promotion • Onsite fitness center • Numerous incentives throughout the year • Face to face time with the CEO to talk about ways to improve the company • Fosters learning and growth – Granite University • Promotes a culture of growth & innovation in new products • Financially stable – no debt = peace of mind • And much more…

Cons

I can't really think of any downside of working at Granite. If you are a person that doesn't like to work hard/smart then Granite is not for you. I've worked for companies big and small in the past. I've been at Granite for 8 years, and it is the best company I've worked for.

Not as bad as they say

Pros

The atmosphere was pleasant, and in my department I never felt like anyone was looking over my shoulder or belittling me. I was given daily schedules and left alone. The little group I worked in consisted of friendly and helpful individuals. The company also allows for vertical AND horizontal growth, as employees can switch to a different department after a set period of time working.

Cons

Many of the positions in the company, particularly starter jobs, are what I would call "monkey work." These positions use skills that anyone straight out of high school has, but the company requires their employees hold bachelor's degrees. Because of this, many of the departments feature jobs that will not make the most of whatever degree you may have, and this can leave someone unfulfilled.

Pros

Plenty of jobs within multiple departments - if you don't like it, switch without too much hassle Opportunity to get bonuses Cafeteria food is good and the employees there are great Basically most of the bad reviews I've read seem to be from people who didn't try to make their stay at Granite work for them. They offer tuition reimbursement which includes 50% back on books so if you don't like Granite itself you can always use them to advance your career elsewhere. There are so many different jobs within Granite and they are all advertised every week to the current employees. If you use the resources available to you, you can find a job you like, co-workers you enjoy working with, and supervisors/managers that actually help you out. It is a sales focused business (the CEO is a sales guy) so yeah, the sales people get the most out of it. So what? every company has a department that gets the most support.

Cons

Takes 2 years to get a raise. Senior rep positions are few and the process to get them is limited. Pay is only okay (great for those people who need to build a resume though).
