Pros

The location is great, right by the train station, Boston is right over the bridge, etc. The cafeteria's food is not that bad either, and the big bosses don't stop smiling(partially because they're happy to see you, majority because they're billionaires). They do hold weekly meetings though, which was nice. They are extremely goal oriented and that is why they have had so much success.

Cons

The work environment is so hideous that it literally drains your spirit when you walk into the building. Who knows when the last time that carpet was replaced, 90% of the cubicles look like they have coffee stains on them, and the employees literally do the same thing every. single. DAY. Now, I understand the appearance isn't the most important part but COME ON, we are in 2015 and you are telling me you're a debt free BILLION DOLLAR company and you can't make the place look a little more welcoming and happy? You walk in and its like "damn, this place looks horrible". Besides that, the real reason why I gave them only 1 star is because the training was horrible. The woman who led training/orientation not only did not train us properly, but she would sit there and talk about her diet the entire time and how great of an employee she is. She couldn't even train properly. Not only that, but she made me and half of the other employees in orientation super uncomfortable with her use of the word "ghetto". She sat for an hour and explained how a lot of, "ghetto" people used to work at the company and they changed their method of hiring due to this(they switched to hiring majority of college grads). I will let you take that however you'd like to, because apparently people who don't have a college education are "ghetto". And apparently, "ghetto" is an adjective now. I don't know how she had anytime to label people as "ghetto" when she looked a hot mess her damn self. I don't know why she sat for an hour and a half talking about her diet(that no one cared about) when it clearly wasn't doing any justice to her appearance. Over all, I think granite has a lot of maturing to do in their training department. It was the third week and me and my co-workers that I started with were already talking about seeking other employment. If you work there, good luck.

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.
