Pros
Had good pay and benefits at the time
Cons
I retired after 30 years--they were losing the last of what little common sense they had left in Denver. Good managers in Denver and the field had mostly left to work for better managed energy production companies whose priorities were not posting your employee picture on the DCP web portal, or company wide rules like having to contact your supervisor before you backed-up your company vehicle anywhere-- whether it was a city street or the middle of a cow pasture. A manager/engineer that left back in 2007 and became an executive for a more successful energy company, he put it well before he left DCP when he once told a group of DCP supervisors--"DCP doesn't understand the natural gas industry". That was still true when I retired several years later. In my area most of the younger employees couldn't get their heads out of Facebook long enough to learn or do their job--and HR wasn't going to back-up any supervisors that tried to correct it. Denver seemed to think that they had it made with their high percentage of under 30 somethings in their office and in the field. That and company provided cell phones were mostly a negative when it came to real work. Upper management may disagree, but they were never in the actual field for any length of time to see it or care anyway--They were too busy pretending to have a clue. Coincidentally Denver management (still mostly the same ) seemed to get much worse after Colorado legalized recreational marijuana.
