Pros

I worked at Granite for a few years and believe while it is possible for Granite to be a good place to work it is not there right now nor does it show signs of working toward that. The job responsibilities are basic so without the ability to learn and grow there really is not significant reason to stay with the company for that long. If you are just looking for a 1 to 2 year job or just a paycheck this is it. Just don't expect to get a competitive salary.

Cons

The leadership is dysfunctional and lacks quality people. There are a few strong leaders in the company but most of them are not from within the original Granite team and were hired from outside companies. Those that are from within Granite are often times promoted because of tenure rather than qualification. This has resulted in many members of the management team to be under qualified leaving subordinates to feel like they cannot learn anything. The turnover at Granite is not unusually high but it is not a job to be excited about. I have seen many people leave the company to hugs and congratulatory words for "getting out" or "moving on". While there are areas where one can develop, it is not a place I would recommend to someone looking to grow their career or skills. The CEO acts pompously and childlike. He gave a survey to employees then when it came back with a view point different to his own he told those who felt differently than he that they could leave whenever they want. It certainly is his way or the highway. He has surrounded himself with yes men who do not question him ever. This type of leadership stifles any type of growth or change within the company.

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.
