Decent location and place to work if you are already in Colorado, but I wouldn't relocate to work here.

Pros

Location is right off the highway, employees are very friendly (but isn't everyone in Colorado??), currently improving technology, lots of new employees - so you won't feel alone.

Cons

Pay is fairly low unless you come in at Directors level or above. Benefits are just okay. Management will fire/layoff employees easily - most people are new and now I know why. NO DIVERSITY in upper management, nor does the company care. No bells & whistles (well depends on which building they stick you in) no gym, no cafeteria, no on-campus events/guest speakers. Managers track everything; vacation, sick time, holidays..you name it - not flexible at all.

Knee-jerk Reactions Underlie Long-term Planning

Business Outlook

Pros

Company pays for first 2x salary life insurance, AD&D, and short-term disability coverage. Fun, no-nonsense organization. HR and IT stay reasonably out of the way to ensure productivity.

Cons

Hiring and layoffs are driven by quarterly financial results. Promotions based upon old boys club connections and not merit. Competitive compensation exists only for directors and above. Small, awkward cubes for non-managers.
