Granite Telecommunications reviews

I should have realized when I saw everybody leaving at 5 p.m. on the dot en masse that this was not a place where employees felt they could get a lot out if they put a lot in. I was a temp, worked very hard, and was commended by coworkers and my supervisor alike for a good and smart work ethic. I was let go, and I won't go into it, but I still doubt whether it was something other than politics since it seems extreme to let me go so abruptly on such a minor mistake. Accuracy is very important at Granite, but a worker does not know telecom (who the heck does) without learning it, and if the management is not willing to answer questions on a project, then you can't expect a new employee to have all the answers. Regardless, I worked my butt off and was rewarded with a prompt dismissal. I am never working that hard again for a company that says peace so quickly and easily. They don't deserve your hard work ethic.

I was at Granite for about 6 years and it nearly tripled in size when I left. Unfortunately, I don't think Granite managed its growth as well as they could have. Due to their lack of employee appreciation, people were in and out of there like rotating doors. They would leave the company or do lateral moves into other departments. I felt because of this, a lot of people there did not know their jobs well as they should and this includes supervisors and managers. There is no Human Resource department at Granite. If you are having any work related issues, you need to see the Senior Corporate Counsel which I find extremely unusual for a company of 1000+ employees. There are no annual pay raises but they do (try to) compensate by giving free lunches and days off here and there.
