They are always looking to help new hires find their stride and even employees who have been with Granite for a significant amount of time.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Caring about their employees and running meetings
Actually working and making an effort to help the sales team
Review from Sales Dept
Need to eliminate the bureaucratic infrastructure that has indirectly formulated. After being an employee there for a little over 13 years, after leaving, I noticed it is a huge company with a small private company persona. Some sales reps are treated like Gods, most sociably awkward.
Review from Operations Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
matching. better than most companies.
in sales: the measurable is commission and bonus, salary is nice but the ability to have an uncapped environment is what most of us wake up for each day.
Review from Sales Dept
There are some really good benefits including extra PTO days we can earn through the year.
Review from Operations Dept
Residual Income is the primary driver for doing what I do.
Review from Sales Dept
Great Health and Dental package for families. 401K match
Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I landed and managed many household names, and was kicked to the curb right before Thanksgiving & Christmas. Severance denied
Review from Sales Dept
Its not enough compared to our competitors and the amount of stress i dealt with
I have not been given a raise in over 2 years
Better stock plans and better room for promotion. There are Assistant VP's at this location who have the managerial experience as your local McDonald's.
Review from Operations Dept

Our teams have been together for significant time because of our ability to retain our talent. Working within your team or across teams is very fluid

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The basic understanding of the partner companies and to take ownership of their mistakes, instead of blaming everyone else.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
giving back, not forgetting our communities is very important.
the people, the opportunity to build a career in any role, to become a leader- takes a time and the organization invests a ton of time in development in all departments
Review from Sales Dept
The community events, volunteering, and giving back
Review from Operations Dept
Our devotion to health and fitness. Rewarding the top perfomers
Review from Sales Dept
Brand new headquarters, nice amenities (cafe, gym, grounds), very inclusive, and frequent events and pop ups
Review from Operations Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Degraded by my managers while I was landing and managing household names. Quota is nearly impossible, 3-4 reps of 60+ will hit it per month
Review from Sales Dept
Less managerial topology and strict military guidelines. Also, stop hiring under qualified people and eliminate the "temp to perms". Just begin to directly hire talent and eliminate the 20 managers you have per Department. Also, have the VP's who yell and swear watch themselves. It will come back
Review from Operations Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
job was explained clearly and in details.
They moved really quicky unlike some other companies that take months
Review from Operations Dept
I was able to speak directly to CEO and VP of Sales
Review from Sales Dept
While I interviewed almost 20 years ago I do a significant amount of hiring. I believe our recruitment team does an excellent job of laying the ground work of who the company is and what the role entails. The candidate has a solid base of understanding before the manager meets
Review from Operations Dept
I met with multiple managers with different sales styles and was matched with the one I was most compatable with.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Avoid this company all together. They called me and my work worthless after I gave 4 years of my life
Review from Sales Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
new HQ, (Quincy), all new product and innovations.
opportunity to create a long term career with great leaders who founded the company - winning and losing together - the support is amazing - just a great place to be
Review from Sales Dept
The people I work with
Review from Operations Dept
Closing big deals is what makes me happy
Review from Sales Dept
Launching large projects and putting them a success track for enterprise clients
Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Bad management and no oversite for the partners in the field
Must change the bureaucracy that has formulated among the high paid upper management- Most of the tab are their checks and the workers are like the pawns. Want to be looked as a value for Granite, bring them you and your book of business and hold onto that book for dear life as your bargaining chip
Eliminate multi management layers- Too many chefs in the kitchen Hire business development groups for each department Need Change Management within the Network Integrations Dept. where the VP structures commissions to align his pockets. Eliminate these salesman who are arrogant- there are better
