Pros

--Easy to obtain a job. This is partly due to the temp-to-perm system (you are a temp employee for 90 days) they utilize for almost all positions, so there's almost no risk on Granite's end. --Very charitable company. Again, this partly benefits them, but still I'll give them credit. --Somewhat frequent bonuses distributed to entire staff. --Easy access to subway. --Great free gym. --Standard 8-5. Rarely work late

Cons

--No autonomy. No flexibility of schedule; no working from home even during emergencies and everyone must take the same 12-1 lunch break and not a minute more --Being on a cell phone is essentially a fireable offense, restricted internet access. Sure, you should mostly be working while at work but the zero-discretion applied to this category is alarming. --Low base salary for essentially everyone besides Sales and Software/Database Dev teams --High turnover due to unfulfillment/ low salary. Can't say I blame them.

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.
