Pros

- Good work/life balance for most employees - Good opportunities for charity outreach and intramural activities - Unlimited 401k match (up to federal limit) - Ability to excel and quickly advance in a department because talent overall is so lacking

Cons

Marketing dishonesty: 1000 employees share in $1000 bonus (read: 800 employees get $1000 bonus, 200 temps get $50 bill) Adding 250 - 350 employees a year (for the past 10 years); easy to do when 200-300 people leave 50% of Granite's "Charitable Contributions" listed in magazines/press is from Granite employees themselves - Management's literal view of employees as "human resources"; will eagerly trade for a new, fresh collegiate model. Consistent 20-25% annual turnover is never a good sign - Permeating "not my job" attitude and atmosphere - Supervisors and Managers keep all the acclaim; employees do the actual work/presentation and pass full reports. Improbable ratio of management staff win Employee of the Month which earns a trip to Florida (and it's all due to tasks team members accomplish, not because of actual superstar supervisors).

Pros

No pros what so ever.

Cons

This company and specifically the collections department have very little opportunity for growth, despite what may be promised during the hiring process. Honestly, it’s a circus. Non stop tasks are thrown at employees each day. And Goals are constantly increased so analyst can’t reach them. Employees who work hard and consistently perform well often find themselves stuck in the same position with no clear path for advancement. Promotions and opportunities never appear to be based on performance or merit. Management is one of the biggest issues. They have no clue. Favoritism is prevalent, and certain employees seem to receive special treatment, better opportunities, and more support than others. This creates a frustrating and discouraging work environment where many employees feel undervalued and overlooked. Morale suffers when performance and dedication are overlooked in favor of personal relationships and when there is little accountability for management and no transparency regarding career development. Communication from leadership is lacking, and employee concerns are not addressed. Management gets defensive when employees ask questions or disagree with their stupid decisions. Overall, it can be a VERY challenging place to build a longterm career if you are looking for fair treatment, professional growth, and strong leadership. Turnover rate is very high. Also, micro management is at an all time high. Would not even recommend this place to a college grad for entry level experience, if i could Put 0 stars, i would. For the sake of your mental health, stay far away.
