Pros

Graham does not take safety very seriously so it is a good place to learn new things. I was handed a crane control box on my first day with no training or certification- no questions asked. I also learned to drive fork lift at graham months before I was formally trained and certified. I also never had wear fall protection- which is great because it's not comfortable.

Cons

Nepotism- People who are unqualified are given jobs they can't handle because a family member has years of service. Everyone suffers because of it. Toxic- Inmates run the asylum. HR is a disaster, they have no idea what the company even makes yet they continuously take actions that trip up production. HR does not attempt to resolve conflicts between employees. You are a number- next man up mentality. That one token guy who tries to promote his band to every new guy? He has no talent- Rips off existing songs and calls it a "tribute" when caught.

Pros

This is a fantastic company with a culture that consistently improves. Our new CEO has incredible energy and is a true catalyst for growth; it’s exciting to see how they are accelerating the business. Senior management is approachable and strong, and there is a genuine sense of happiness among the staff. One of the best parts about working here is that leadership truly listens—my opinion always counts, and my manager is incredibly supportive and open to feedback. If you're looking for a place where you can make an impact and grow alongside the company, this is it!

Cons

While the company is evolving quickly, there are still some legacy systems in place that can feel a bit "set in the past." We have been working on upgrading these platforms for a couple of years, but the transition is a slow process. Additionally, because many employees have been with the company for decades, there can be some natural resistance to new ways of doing things. It requires patience and a persistent attitude to drive change here, as the shift from "how we've always done it" to modern processes is still a work in progress.

Pros

Work life balance with understanding leadership for flexible schedules (some people work 7:30-3:3, 8-5, 9-6, whatever works best with your personal schedule!) No two days are the same, which keeps the day and job interesting. Autonomy over my work and how I structure my workday. Ability to WFH 1 day a week.

Cons

Some systems or workflows could be more streamlined, along with some outdated systems.
