Pros

Pay and raises are great in this economy Benefits package is great, low premiums on health care, tuition reimbursement, RTD pass, 401k, 457 and pension, earned time off accrues

Cons

No accountability for poor performance, in most divisions people stay until they retire instead of being let go for poor performance. Employees feel entitled to pay raises, managers have no authority, lots of confusion as to the future direction of the company, feeling of out with the old in with the new Many people at all levels treat you like you are an unskilled idiot if you don't have a degree, ignore experience. They promote those with degrees but unable to perform basics of job

Pros

Good compensation, benefits and training. Job security.

Cons

Kind of a "good old boys" club. It definitely helps to know someone. Staff seems more concerned with following established policies and procedures than trying to improve. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Generally a conservative atmosphere which can be expected since it is a public utility.
