Pros
Denver Water has a storied history and commitment to providing safe drinking water to metro Denver. If you want experience, there are still great employees here you can learn from, who still have high integrity. Hopefully you will find them and make the best of things until you find a great place to work.
Cons
Denver Water has mutated into a faux corporation, with a “CEO” whose imprimatur is on a faulty pay-for-performance scheme that constrains employees to remain at or below the midpoint of their salary range. Technical expertise is devalued; unless you are a manager or at least a favored supervisor you are easily replaced and disrespected. The DW “values” are window dressing on a toxic environment that pits employees against each other, and cultivates ageism and sexism. Upper management is self-serving, and treats themselves like kings; transparency is nonexistent.
