Graniterock

When I first started, the company seemed like a great place to work. Over time, however, it became clear that advancement often depends more on personal relationships than performance. Favoritism appears to play a role, and employees who consistently do their jobs well may be overlooked compared to those who spend more time trying to stand out socially.

There is also a lack of clear role boundaries, as some coworkers take on informal supervisory behavior without authority. Management tends to focus heavily on metrics and appearances rather than employee well-being or work-life balance.

The pay and benefits are strong due to the union, which is a major positive. Unfortunately, the overall workplace culture felt unhealthy and made it difficult to stay long term.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being outdoors . And everyday being different than the previous day. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The fact that I asked for help after they offered it. And then being ignored over and over when I asked. Then I get let go shortly after I asked for help. Just not right. So much for being a team. Looks to me that it's every man/woman for themselves. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At times it's dangerous and other times it's slow and boring. But that's why I loved my job because it was never the same thing day after day. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
working hard and trying to help keep job site safe and clean.

The people you work with are generally stellar. It's a good place to work, with benefits that can't be beat anywhere, but the pay doesn't keep pace with the industry, market, or cost of living. The minimum wages in the area have gone up 90% over the last decade, and with it the earning power of my position dropped dramatically. I went from making more than double the minimum to only about 33% above the minimum, with an unmovable salary cap. And cost of living in that time-frame also increased by over 100%.

For the purchaser position:

Managed inventory levels, procured inventory from venders, facilitated sales transactions with customers and monitored certain sales transactions of co-workers, helped develop and introduce new products, helped train and educate new employees, sat in on interviews and gave opinions when looking for new hires, answered phones, worked the register, operated the forklift and helped keep the location clean.

Management is personable but at times dysfunctional.

Work environment depends on branch (some are better than others).

My day is somewhat isolated as I drive to various locations to deliver cement. Safety in all aspect of the job is first and foremost, not only because it is priority one for the company, but also because operating a cement truck, due to unpredictability of each location, carries with it a high fatality rate. 

While I do like the company and enjoy every person I have met in the company, the draw back to this job is scheduling,  income, and benefits.

Company has been changing in the past years for the worse. Company only promotes managers family members or employees they know. They have employees that like to gossip about other employs and get them in trouble just to move up the ladder. Once you get hired for a position don't expect for you to just do your job they give you more work that was not in the job description. 

Overall great company that really takes care of its employees. Everyone is invested in their work and is willing to help others succeed. Anyone who is looking to get into the local construction industry should look at Graniterock.

Granite Rock is a great place to work if you are looking to make a life in the Bay Area. The benefits are top notch, the job security is outstanding (especially on the union side), and the majority of jobs get paid holidays. The pay is competitive, management is fair, and once you get to be a part of it, you will see they are a family

I would balance all of the different branches deposits and deposit the money. I would also balance reports. I learned all the different types of products that go into construction. Our accounting team worked well together. I enjoyed learning all aspects of the business.

The people here is the thing that makes this company great. Graniterock is focused on safety and for good reason, everyone deserves to go home when the work is done. Beyond safety Graniterock builds a great community that allows the business to thrive.
