Pros

Granite is a phenomenal place to start a sales career. You learn a lot of good information on how to run a sales process, best practices and real world examples of how rough the life of a salesman/saleswoman is. It is a bit of a wild west in terms of leads so you have to learn how to play the Granite game. But if you do learn, you can definitely make a good amount of money as a young sales rep out of college.

Cons

As mentioned in the pros, you need to learn the Granite game. Unfortunately, that game will likely require you to split deals with some of the old head reps who think they are entitled to deals because they talked to them a decade ago. You will also have to split a lot of bigger deals with Granite channels. Management... not the best across the board. A lot of flaws in their thinking and they can be more reactive as opposed to proactive.

Pros

None to speak of because this is a top down systemic problem

Cons

From not paying commissions to extreme micromanaging this place is only good for gaining gold calling experience. Rob hale is going to cash out and has demonstrated no interest in improving the working experience.
