Pros

There is a free gym at the HQ - the new HQ looked nice, though I never worked in it so can't add much more. I can only say great that it took 20 years to move somewhere actually decent the old place had mice and the CEO said in the main monday meeting he wasn't going to fix it (he wasn't kidding) . Lot of great coworkers that I bonded with for how much of a bleep show it was, glad to hear a lot of them work at better places now. I got really great experience from being worked to death that I can feel like I can work anywhere (genuinely mean that). The charity portion is also great I will admit- I participated in saving by shaving both years I was there. That being said, so many employees feel the backhanded effect of this when they're getting so underpaid. Great the company is charitable but they also wonder why there's no many left for them for raises, promotions, hiring more people....

Cons

Typical underworked/ underpaid- which is a lot of places I guess so I don't know still new in the work-fore. My main thing was operation employees were never treated with respect. 20 people from the PMO department left (including myself) in 8 months and no one was hired. No word if there would be replacements, no acknowledgement for those working OT and putting in extra work. So many supervisors left after giving it their all for years because C-level and direct upper management treated them so awfully. So if you're out of college work here for 2 years then get out- if your over the age of 26-27 find somewhere else, this isn't worth the stress or the money. You'll be lucky to afford a McDonalds value meal with the salary you get here (and that's after you work here for 2 years). It's also great to say I work somewhere else- I can't tell you how many concerned/sad faces I got when I told people i worked at Granite- goes to show the company image isn't great by the locals.

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.
