Pros

Good benefits, paid training, decent salary.

Cons

Where to start? First off you will not make more than 60k while your're here and that is if you don't get fired in the first 8 months. If you are a national account manager you're expected to work a minimum of 50 hours per week which you will not be compensated for overtime. The managers will mock you, yell at you, curse, and their way of motivating you is with fear of losing your job. They will use you for lead generation then fire you to keep the accounts for themselves. The top sales people were given big accounts and or got in early to Network Integration when it was possible to land accounts. You will be given a list of 500 leads and be expected to somehow make sales on those 500 leads even if the companies you are calling are have already said "NO! We are in a contract for the next 5 years" Granite will lie to you in the beginning during training claiming you will be making 200k plus in 2-3 years this is a lie if you look at the office everyone has been there 3-9 months because everyone else left or was fired. I worked from 7am-6pm everyday and called dried up leads in a saturated market. You are expected to call 100 people a day while prospecting you will hate this job if you get it. Listen, if you want a sales job please refrain from this company unless you are fresh out of college 22-24 years old. This, job, will, kill you! I quit the job for a better position because I was literally withering away. I watched an older guy next to me break down in tears due to being chewed out by the VP. Seek employment else where.

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.
