Pros

Nothing good to mention besides having internal teammates to trauma bond with

Cons

Granite is an extremely sales-driven company, which means the pay structure is heavily tilted in favor of sales representatives. However, many sales reps don't have enough product knowledge, likely due the lack of training this company offers. This often leave others to carry the burden of figuring out how to meet customers' specific needs which is both time-consuming and frustrating. Hard work is not rewarded. The more competent you prove yourself to be, the more work and responsibilities are piled onto your plate, often to the point of exhaustion. There is no recognition for your efforts, and promotions are nonexistent, even for top-performing employees. The current culture fosters a mindset of doing the bare minimum because there are no incentives for employees to go above and beyond. The company has no clear growth path, and turnover is incredibly high. Granite tends to hire fresh graduates at low salaries, and once they've burned out, their roles are quickly filled with new hires. This lack of investment in employees is a major issue. Telecom is a challenging industry to learn, and having already devoted so much effort mastering the field, you may find yourself trapped. But this company does not value your time or development. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you're considering a role here.

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.
